WELCOME TO BBE WEBSITE

Since 1994 the Trustees, Staff and volunteers of Brent Business for the Environment (BBE) have worked with the aim of improving the, air, soil and water quality for the residents of North West London.

To meet the increasing demand on the urban environment BBE designs and delivers local projects within two main programmes.

THE SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY PROGRAMME (SCP) creates positive impacts by involving people to actively participate in organic horticultural methods on four sites in NW London.

• BBE propagates Heritage seeds (Dors Close) that form the basis for the planting thus encouraging local organic methods and demonstrating the health benefits to mankind.
• One site (Birchen Grove) has been developed to meet the needs of the disabled or elderly members of the community.
• Another (Dog Lane) is a design demonstrator for urban gardening opportunities whilst the Community Garden at South Kilburn offers 3000 Households the opportunity to learn in a safe family setting.
• SCP supports a local fruit and vegetable cooperative that delivers subsidised Food Boxes on a fortnightly basis.
• SCP created a Reed Bed at the Welsh Harp open space to clean the overspill from the North Circular Road before it reached the Reservoir.
• Each year SCP undertakes free Herbs for Health and Trees for Health events and to date nearly 1000 fruit trees have been planted in NW London's gardens (19% of the land area of Brent is gardens).

THE SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS PROGRAMME mitigates the negative environmental impacts of mankind's production and consumption by involving companies, corporations and household in identifying their environmental performance indicator.
