We're a not for profit Community Energy organisation operating in Southwark and Lambeth and has been established by members of the South London community to relieve fuel poverty by providing renewable energy locally. We have been set up as a Community Benefit Society, which means we are a business managed for the benefit of the community. It’s is run by its shareholders, and shareholding is open to everyone.

We were established in 2023 and received grants from four funds (Government, Mayor of London, Southwark Council, Centrica Energy for Tomorrow) and a fuel poverty alleviation contract from Uk Power Networks (Leaving No One Behind) in 2024 to set up our pilot projects. We have two part time paid managers running the fuel poverty activity and the overall programme.

Our pilot projects include a fuel poverty service delivering energy advice and support for those in need and we currently have five trained energy champions who work with us part-time. We are also running feasibility studies for four solar arrays on housing estates and we’re exploring different possible business models. If we can make this work then we will be setting a precedent for a model for renewables on mixed tenure estates and long term financial sustainable fuel poverty alleviation.

We hold board meetings every other month on Tuesdays 1-2.30pm. The majority of these are held online with occasional in person meetings in Southwark. The Treasurer will also be responsible for holding a general oversight of financial activities and ensuring that we are keeping in line with our financial responsibilities.

Responsibilities

• Oversee financial matters to ensure that the organisation is compliant with regulations and good practice
• Support the finance team and other members of the board to ensure that effective financial procedures are in place
• Support the team in maintaining accurate financial records and oversee the year-end and funders financial reporting processes

Africa Sustainable Journeys

ASJ is a purpose-driven social enterprise offering immersive, ethical travel experiences in Uganda and Rwanda. Founded after a life-changing encounter with the Batwa community in Bwindi forest, our mission is to empower local people, preserve cultural heritage, and promote conservation through sustainable tourism.

Environmental Challenges

Climate change poses a significant threat to the ecosystems of Uganda and Rwanda. Rising temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and increased frequency of extreme weather events are altering the delicate balance of the region's ecosystems. This, in turn, disrupts wildlife habitats, impacts local communities, and threatens the regions' rich biodiversity. For instance, changing weather patterns are affecting the migratory patterns of animals, leading to increased human-wildlife conflict and wildlife distinction.

Conservation efforts in Uganda and Rwanda are also facing significant challenges. Habitat destruction, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict are major threats to the regions' endangered species, including mountain gorillas, elephants, and lions. The destruction of habitats is largely driven by agricultural expansion, urbanization, and infrastructure development, which have resulted in widespread deforestation and land degradation. This not only threatens biodiversity but also leads to soil erosion, loss of fertile land, and decreased agricultural productivity.

Waste management and pollution are additional environmental concerns facing Uganda and Rwanda. The rapid growth of urban centers has led to an increase in plastic waste, agricultural runoff, and other pollutants, which contaminate water sources, soil, and air. This poses significant health risks to local communities, who rely heavily on natural resources for their livelihoods. Furthermore, the lack of effective waste management systems and pollution controls threatens the regions' natural beauty and biodiversity.

Social Challenges Poverty and economic inequality are pervasive in Uganda and Rwanda, particularly in rural areas. Limited access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities perpetuate poverty and inequality, creating a cycle of disadvantage that is difficult to break. Many communities lack access to basic services, such as clean water, sanitation, and electricity, which exacerbates poverty and inequality. Furthermore, the lack of economic opportunities and limited access to markets and resources hinder the ability of local communities to improve their livelihoods.

Cultural exploitation is another significant social challenge facing Uganda and Rwanda. The commercialization of cultural heritage and traditions can lead to cultural erosion, exploitation, and loss of cultural identity. The tourism industry, in particular, can perpetuate cultural exploitation, as local communities are often pressured to perform cultural rituals and practices for tourists, leading to the commodification of culture. This can result in the loss of cultural significance and meaning, as well as the exploitation of local communities for economic gain.

Displacement of local communities is a further social challenge facing Uganda and Rwanda. Unregulated tourism development can result in the displacement of local communities, loss of land, and cultural heritage. The construction of tourist infrastructure, such as hotels and lodges, can lead to the displacement of local communities, as their land is taken over for development. This can result in the loss of livelihoods, cultural heritage, and community cohesion.

To address the social and environmental challenges in Uganda and Rwanda, we've established a policy framework guiding our project development. Our "Choose Your Impact" initiative allocates 2% of tour proceeds to local community projects, 1% to Sustainable Travel International's Climate Impact Portfolio for carbon offsetting, and 1% to local conservation initiatives.

Our projects tackle specific social and environmental challenges. Through our partnership with St. Kizito Junior Academy, our Rural Education Support Program bridges the educational gap for vulnerable children in rural Uganda. Where we are committed to improving infrastructure, provide essential resources, and support the school's efforts to deliver quality education, empowering disadvantaged children in Mpigi district, Njjanya village.

We also empower teenage mothers in the Rwenzori region through our partnership with Platform for the Needy, providing them with skills training, education, and economic empowerment. This support enables them to improve their socio-economic status, overcome marginalization, and participate fully in their communities.

In partnership with Ride 4 a Woman and Azizi Life, we promote community-based tourism, enabling guests to engage in cultural exchange programs and homestays. This approach injects income into local economies, supports local people, and fosters cross-cultural understanding.

Environmentally, we promote sustainable wildlife tourism practices, support conservation efforts, and protect wildlife habitats. We invest in sustainable infrastructure, implement environmentally friendly practices, reduce waste and carbon emissions, and support reforestation and climate action initiatives.

Our social responsibility commitment extends to addressing inequality and social exclusion among the indigenous Batwa community in Uganda. Our Batwa Healthcare Support project provides comprehensive medical care, health education, and community outreach. We also partner with Guardian Gorilla Village on the Goats for Gorillas project, supporting sustainable livelihood solutions for reformed poachers' families and reducing threats to gorillas and wildlife.

We work at the grassroots level to bridge these gaps through climate education, policy advocacy, and community-driven solutions. Our programs include tree-planting initiatives to combat deforestation, sustainable menstrual hygiene campaigns to reduce plastic waste, and health camps that integrate climate adaptation strategies. By empowering underserved communities with knowledge, resources, and a platform to influence policies, we promote climate justice and equitable sustainability.

Additionally, we establish community-led technical working groups and provide training on climate-smart agriculture, renewable energy, and sustainable livelihoods to enhance long-term resilience.
