Joining EN4M puts you directly in touch with a community of other environmental groups and organisations involved in developing a sustainable Manchester. It also provides a platform for you to promote your activities to the wider public, and raise awareness of the issues you are concerned with.
The network is there to help groups working on environmental and sustainable development issues to pull together by sharing ideas, resources and information. It also provides opportunities for groups to meet and work together on joint projects and campaigns to increase our influence in the city.
EN4M is intended to be a sharing community. It's success relies on the contribution of it's members. While we aim to be as inclusive as possible, we have developed some criteria for membership to ensure the network retains it's focus and remains active.
