About Us
EN4M is a membership organisation made up of groups and organisations which contribute to it's ongoing development. The work of the network is supported by a co-ordinator and a support group elected from network members. The objectives of the network are to:
- build capacity through strengthening the ability of environmental groups in Manchester to carry out their work
- represent/influence through giving a louder and more legitimate voice to environmental groups influencing public sector activities in Manchester
- network/build partnership by facilitating joint working and the sharing of skills, information and resources by members.
- raise awareness of environmental issues to the general public.
- provide information by acting as central point of access to information and advice and to actively research, collect and distribute information regarding environmental groups and initiatives, including consultations and policy documents.
All our members are actively committed to the principles of sustainable development, and are working for the benefit of Manchester.
The Bigger Picture
EN4M is hosted by MERCi, an independent charity established in 1996 to promote sustainable living. MERCi's vision is of a world where environmental, social and economic issues are balanced and people live according to a one-planet economy. EN4M is one of the constituent networks collectively known as the Community Network for Manchester (CN4M), the aim of which is to provide a voice for the community and voluntary sector in the Manchester Partnership, the decision making body for Manchester. EN4M hosts two projects; one focusing on Sustainable Neighbourhoods, which includes planning, housing and the environment in the city and the other on Transport. These projects aim to gather the views, issues and concerns of groups and individuals and feed them directly into the Manchester Partnership.
