About us

Sustainable Wallingford helps people live sustainably via local action to make Wallingford a town where people and nature thrive. We are part of the Community Action Group (CAG) Project of over 60 groups across Oxfordshire, leading community  climate change action.

We organise events and projects on issues including energy, waste, transport, food,biodiversity and social justice.

UN Resolution 42/187 defined sustainable development as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

The UK Sustainable Development Strategy, Securing the Future, set out five ‘guiding principles’ of sustainable development:
  • living within the planet’s environmental limits;
  • ensuring a strong, healthy and just society;
  • achieving a sustainable economy;
  • promoting good governance; and
  • using sound science responsibly.
Our goals locally are to
  • reduce Wallingford‘s carbon footprint, in response to climate change,
  • promote a sustainable lifestyle for our town without fossil fuels
  • reduce carbon and energy use


We recently celebrated our 20th anniversary. Take a look round this site to see some of our  amazing  achievements  over the years.
Since the pandemic we are even more aware of the need for community initiatives which people will enjoy. If you want to help Wallingford adapt to the challenges which face us, take a look at who we are and what we do, and contact us. We would love to meet you.
