London Community Resource Network (LCRN) is a charitable social enterprise supporting organisations and communities working to manage resources sustainably, especially through waste prevention, reuse and recycling.
We are the largest community waste support network organisation in England, with a track record of delivery at a regional and national scale in England and a strong background in influencing policy, delivering sound business support and providing advisory support to local authorities. We connect community groups, charities and businesses all working towards responsible resource management and provide them with best practice, training, publicity and business support.
The Network
We are a diverse array of charities, social enterprises, community organisations, private companies, local authorities, citizens and experts working in different ways to make better use of resources in London.
Our members are engaged in recycling and reuse of household and municipal waste, and many more things beside.
Our vision
London is the World Capital - a city where the richest and poorest people on the planet live, producing almost 20 million tonnes of waste a year. This waste contributes to climate change, costs more money than we can afford and is an insult to people who experience poverty everywhere.
Our vision is a London where resources are managed sustainably to maximise community and environmental benefit. We believe that London can dramatically reduce the amount of waste it produces, reuse and recycle far more, and redistribute goods more fairly.
Objectives
LCRN works to help London manage resources sustainably to maximise environmental and community benefit. We:
