About Us
Air pollution is linked to 30,000 deaths in the UK each year.
Toxic air is a known contributor to cancer, heart disease, strokes and asthma, killing more people annually than smoking.
Poor air quality costs society, businesses and the NHS services more than £27 billion a year.

The London Clean Air Initiative is a non-profit action group aiming to improve air quality across London. By working closely with the entire community, including schools, businesses, and residents, as well as the local authority, we provide resources and support alongside our clean air projects.
Our Mission
To engage, educate, and empower London’s communities to take collective action for clean air and sustainability.
