WEAct is run entirely by volunteers and so we are always looking for new people to join us.
We have a number of different ways for you to get involved which are detailed below. So if any of them are of interest to you, or you would like further information, please get in touch via our email.
In the meantime, you can keep up-to-date with us on Instagram or Facebook (both @wokingenvironmentaction).
Climate Action Group
Our Climate Action Group acts as a critical friend to the council, scrutinising its climate action plan and making recommendations on how it can meet its net-zero goals. We also arrange events to raise awareness of climate change and its impacts, such as Woking Great Big Green Week.
We have an active WhatsApp community and meet monthly, either online or in person. Please see here for more details.
Woking Hedgehogs

Volunteers with this project can help by supporting awareness raising events, e.g. at school fetes) or administering the lending of our wildlife cameras.
