We are a group of people who are, one step at a time, adopting a more sustainable lifestyle, paying attention to local ecosystems and our wider natural environment, while understanding and promoting the importance of social justice and economic fairness. We are establishing a broad community of individuals and groups who share our vision, collaborating to bolster the local economy, decrease our ecological footprint and waste, whilst strengthening community resilience to create a community where we can all thrive.
We warmly welcome anyone who wants to volunteer, whether by offering their time, energy, or creative ideas to help with our ever-changing projects and events.
Our Projects
Our Repair Cafés, events at the Eco Hub and Apple Days have become popular events in the Blackdown Hills’ calendar, helping us to reduce waste and make the most of our local resources. They’re also wonderful social occasions giving us opportunities to come together as a community.
We are tremendously grateful to the many volunteers who give up their time to make these events such a success and to those who have so generously donated over the years.
Over time, through your donations, we have donated to many local community projects, giving back to the communities who have supported us.
Our current funds are being used to maintain our apple pressing equipment, buy spare parts and tools for the repair cafes, renting our meeting space for Churchinford 2030 and for the rental and running costs of Jim's Shed.
