Last updated 9 April 2025

Environmental Forum

The Resident Environmental Forum (REF) acts a consultation body for major Anchor initiatives relating to sustainability and the environment, acting as advocates for sustainability and environmental matters. 

By focusing on education, action, and collaboration, the REF empowers other residents to contribute through initiatives like recycling, wildlife support, and shaping Anchor’s future. In 2023, the REF played a vital role in shaping Anchor’s sustainability strategy and continues to serve as a key stakeholder in its ongoing governance alongside the resident's council. 

Current and upcoming projects 

Most recently the REF been working on a review of Anchor's lighting policy, consulting on Anchor's Sustainability Pathway and producing a series of new educational resources on a range of topics.

Newest educational resources

Net Zero resources

Explaining what the term "Net Zero" means and highlighting some actions everyone can take to help balance out our carbon emissions, the REF have produced a leaflet which they invite you to download and share:

Climate change and adaptation

In 2024 the REF produced a video discussing how we can make changes in our everyday lives to reduce our carbon footprint and increase local resilience to climate change.

 

The Hungry Gap resources

The REF also work to raise awareness and understanding of how people can support bees March-April each year when food is scarce for them. The REF invite you to watch, download and share the resources they have created below:

Who are the members of the Resident Environmental Forum? 

There are currently 6 members of the REF, though they work closely with other resident groups such as the Resident Council and are supported by Champions. Their members represent residents living in rented accommodation and homeownership properties. They are keen to welcome other like-minded people, passionate about the environment to join the group.

If you’d like to get involved with the work of the REF please get in touch here.

Become a REF Champion

Another way to get involved is to become one of the groups' Champions. Champions are enthusiastic residents dedicated to promoting sustainability within their community. They offer support and guidance to help fellow residents adopt eco-friendly practices as and when they have time. Every effort counts, no matter how much time or experience you have, you can contribute as a Champion.

There is also a Facebook group Anchor residents interested in sustainability can join to share their views and ideas with one another.

To find out more about becoming a Champion please get in touch here.
