Media facility

HHP has been successful in identifying PR opportunities and has adopted a proactive role with the media. The members of the project are viewed as authorities and pioneers in the field of sustainable living by extensive contacts across the media. The media publicity provides an opportunity to get across key sustainability messages and promote Project activities. As a result HHP is frequently used as a media facility for a wide range of programmes covering environmental issues. We have been used as a backdrop for a Top Gear programme looking at environmentally friendly cars. More recently Sky News spent 2006 budget day at HHP using it as a focus to cover environmental issues that emerged, in particular the extra road tax duty on ‘gas-guzzlers’. Most of these were live links. Many of the project members (including kids) are happy to interviews, pre-recorded or live.

For more details about media coverage of HHP over the years, see Media Centre.

If you are a media based company and you are looking for a setting to cover an environmental story or would simply like to use the Project as a backdrop, we would be happy to discuss possibilities with you. Contact Nick White at hhp@hockerton.demon.co.uk or call 01636 816902.
