We are a national membership based charity and have been playing a leading role in environmental protection in the UK since 1898. Our head office is in Brighton and we also have ten regional divisions throughout the UK.

Environmental Protection UK traces its roots back to the foundation of the Coal Smoke Abatement Society (CSAS) in 1898, making it one of the oldest environmental NGOs. CSAS was founded by London based artist Sir William Blake Richmond, who became frustrated by low light levels in the winter caused by coal smoke.

We recognise that growth needs to be managed to strike the right balance between the social and environmental impact of the airport and the benefits we bring to the area.
