Dr. Larch Maxey has dedicated 40 years to sustainability and climate solutions. In 2020 he co-founded HS2 Rebellion to protect our wildlife & communities from HS2. In 2021 he spent 27 days living in a tunnel under Euston Square Gardens, bringing international attention to HS2's destruction.
HS2 has been mired in controversy, costing UK taxpayers billions. Most of HS2 has been scrapped, yet the damage remains. Thousands of families have been displaced, and now, despite the majority of the project being abandoned, Larch faces a new threat: court costs & HS2's threat to force the sale of his home.
This isn’t just about one person. It’s about us all standing together to protect free speech and the right to dissent.
The Solution:
HS2 has agreed to settle out of court if he pays £32 000 by 24th October, so we have just two weeks left to raise the remaining funds.
How You Can Help:
Hundreds of people donated generously I the first week, so we are nearly there!
Now we're reaching out to you for support. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference in preventing the forced sale of Larch’s home.
Please donate and share this campaign with your friends, family and community. Together, we can stand up against this injustice and ensure that no more families are made homeless by HS2.
Thank you so much for your support!

Thanks to over 500 generous donors, we are Well on our way to saving Larch's home.
I spoke with Larch and said I would move the target up and tell people that any funds over the essential £32k to save the his home, will go to support his NEW PROJECT.
Larch (unpaid thus far, very Larch) is setting up a new organisation, Ethical Sustainable Properties (ESP), to create affordable, sustainable homes for committed campaigners. This ties into this funding page's original purpose.

I trust Larch to spend our funds (I donated) wisely, he is a very good and intelligent man.
