As part of the European Commission’s Lifelong Learning Programme and the ACtS’ learning exchange project, Mapping for Change is 'Mapping Thamesmead for Change'

In an innovative approach to tackling noise pollution residents in one of London's noisiest neighbourhoods have decided to tackle the issue by conducting their own noise mapping surveys.

The Big Lottery Fund in England is investing up to £200 million in 100-150 neighbourhoods and the area of Northfleet has been chosen as one of the first 50 of those communities.

This pilot project works with three primary schools in Tower Hamlets to develop a child centred views of the local community and raise awareness of issues around sustainability.
