Aims
and Objectives:
en-form
the Colchester environmental information
centre is a focal point for the gathering and
exchange of information on one of the most
vital issues of the day; the environment.
The
enormity and complexity of environmentai
issues is demonstrated by the variety of
subjects listed on this website, just a
fraction of the interests and concerns on the
public agenda.
The
choices we make are often conditioned by the
information we receive.
We can
offer an information base, helping people to
make beneficial decisions for themselves and
the environment.
Our
Aim:
To
encourage public involvement in safeguarding
and improving the environment.
Our
Objective:
To
contribute towards the establishment of a healthy
and sustainable environment in which all
communities can thrive.
We are
here to help, but to do so we need your help.
en-form is a registered charity which needs
support if you can give it, in the form of
volunteers and donations. On this website we
suggest some of the benefits en-form can
bring and the ways in which you can help us.
