H&F Green Investment returns on Monday 3 March, with a brand-new chance to earn fixed returns while funding improvements to streets and open spaces across the borough.
The scheme will offer a fixed annual return over five years, with the interest rate to be confirmed at launch. Investments start from £5.
Our pioneering scheme has already raised £1.75million, more than any other council in the country.
Cllr Rowan Ree, H&F Cabinet Member for Finance and Reform, said:
Our Green Investment scheme makes money work for investors and benefits the local area. We've already attracted much-needed funding to improve our borough and benefit our communities."
Local improvements delivered
Investment to date has brought real changes to H&F.
Since launching in November 2023, the scheme has helped fund vital improvements that make H&F's streets safer, greener and more equipped to cope with the effects of climate change.
A local park Friends group has brought a new community garden to Frank Banfield Park in Hammersmith, complete with a 600-tree strong Tiny Forest and habitat wall.
New rain gardens in King Street are protecting homes and businesses from flooding while replacing grey surfaces with attractive planting that helps absorb rainfall and cool the area during hot weather.
In Fulham, Purcell Crescent is being transformed from tarmac into a vibrant green space for residents to enjoy while boosting local biodiversity.
The scheme has also funded 100 bike hangars. These secure facilities make it easier for residents to switch from cars to bikes for local journeys, helping cut harmful vehicle emissions on our streets.
