Focus Groups for Small & Micro Charities: The Potential of Civil Society

Small charities, community groups, social enterprises and campaign groups contribute so much to making the UKs civil society what it is, but often their insights, expertise and experiences are not given sufficient attention in research. As such the Law Family Commission on Civil Society is extending its Call for Evidence by holding a series of online focus groups in early June exclusively for micro and small civil society organisations (any charity, community group, social enterprise, or campaign groups with an annual income of less than £500,000).

The Ultra-Low Emission Zone is Expanding from 25 October 2021. Have you Checked Your Vehicle?

Air pollution is not just a central London problem, with many areas still exceeding the legal limits for pollution across the city.  That is why from  25 October 2021, the central London Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ)  is expanding  to create a single, larger zone up to the North Circular Road (A406) and South Circular Road (A205). The North and South Circular Roads themselves are not in the zone. This is part of the commitment by the Mayor and TfL to help every Londoner breathe cleaner air.

The ULEZ will continue to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends (except Christmas day), with a £12.50 daily charge for vehicles that do not meet the required emissions standards.

Cars, motorcycles, vans and other specialist vehicles (up to and including 3.5 tonnes) and minibuses (up to and including 5 tonnes) will need to meet the required ULEZ emissions standards when driving within and into the expanded zone, or pay a daily charge.

Four out of five cars already meet the ULEZ emissions standards, but we need owners of the remaining older cars, motorcycles, lighter van and minibuses to take action.

Call To Action: Check your vehicle meets the ULEZ emissions standards and the interactive map of the zone. Visit tfl.gov.uk/ulez-2021

The two year ‘sunset/ exemption’ for minibuses run by/ on behalf of ‘not for profit groups’ – info is here https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/ultra-low-emission-zone/discounts-and-exemptions#on-this-page-7
