All things amplifi

What does amplifi do?

amplifi has been setup with the aim to reduce the noise and confusion around ‘sustainability’ and facilitate ways to learn from and support one another.

Together, we will achieve this by tapping into our collective knowledge and expertise to provide practical ways to make impactful difference. To this end, we invite local businesses to unite with the goal of taking action on the Climate Emergency and supporting our Local Community.

Who is it for?

We are an inclusive collective set up to share the knowledge and expertise of businesses, big and small, who share similar goals about their role in the response to the Climate Emergency and their responsibilities to our Local Community.

No matter your size, if you are a business local to Tunbridge Wells and want to increase the impact of your business and that of others, amplifi is for you!

If you are part of a business outside of Tunbridge Wells but want to get involved, you are absolutely welcome. This is an open tent, working together to help drive change and impact. 

How can I help?

We are at the beginning of amplifi's journey to create positive change but we have big plans to do so.

In 2023, through surveys and conversations, we listened to the local community about their concerns about the climate emergency and their expectations. Many believe that businesses should act responsibly and play a much larger role in making the systematic changes required to tackle some of the challenges that lie ahead. 

It's not going to be easy, but we are even more determined to come together to tackle them together. 

In 2024, we are now ready for action. Following our January launch event bringing everyone together, we then move into the next phase, which is a series of sector-specific meetings. The programme is facilitated by our sector leads, with the support and guidance from our partners, Net Zero Now. 

If you'd like to get involved, either contact the sector leads directly or please get in touch at info@amplifi.tw.

What’s the plan for the future?

We're driven by the idea that we'll get there faster if we travel together.

We will create events to bring businesses together and stimulate thinking, establish an online resource to share knowledge and experiences, and, in the long term, look to develop a shared framework to report impact, which grows over time.
