Here East People
We may run on renewable energy, but it's people who power us. Here East People is our ongoing commitment to community, set up to make a positive impact – here, in the local area and beyond – and championing difference in all forms.
Community with a Difference
We thrive on diversity, fostering innovation by bringing together different ideas, disciplines, outlooks and backgrounds. We nurture future innovators, connecting young people with unique development opportunities in education and businesses based here. And we re-invest in our local community at every level, from providing affordable workspaces to ambitious regeneration projects.
