ECO Action wants you to be our events coordinator.

Event Coordinator Role

Are you passionate about the environment, willing to make a difference and want to bring together your local community?

At ECO Action, we are focused on engaging with local people and inspiring them to take “actions for a greener, healthier future”. 

This is why we have created a new volunteer role to help put on events. These events are held by other environmental organisations, or are our own events like Repair Cafes or new topic-focused Q&A’s.

Your role would be to create a list of events throughout the year which bring people together around a common goal, saving the planet. You would also external event holders and find volunteers to be the helpers on the day. (We already have a list of a few volunteers who want to be part of your team). And don’t worry, you won’t be alone in this! You will work closely with our Volunteers Coordinator and our Marketing team to advertise our presence.

This role is at the heart of ECO Action and is flexible enough to fit alongside what you already do.

If you’re great at planning events, love being part of a friendly team and want to help our planet, then this role is for you.
 

Interested?

We look forward to welcoming you into our team!

ECO Action Celebrates Three Years — And Launches a New Chapter

More than 70 residents, volunteers, partners, councillors, and supporters came together to celebrate ECO Action’s 3rd Anniversary in a positive and inspiring event marking both the organisation’s achievements so far and the launch of its next chapter.

The celebration combined music, conversation, and presentations with opportunities for guests to connect with local groups, initiatives, and volunteers helping to build a greener, healthier future across Windsor & Maidenhead.

The event also introduced ECO Action’s new strategy, which sees the organisation move beyond a single physical Hub and instead focus on reaching more people through communities, libraries, local events, partnerships, and neighbourhood initiatives such as Love Our Street.

Guests heard from local MP Josh Reynolds, who spoke about the growing importance of local action in tackling climate and environmental challenges. He highlighted his support for the cross-party National Emergency Briefing call, urging Government to provide the public with clear, science-led information on climate and nature risks.

Josh also spoke about his ongoing work challenging sewage pollution in local rivers and emphasised the importance of community pressure in driving change. As he told attendees: “Pressure works. Show up, make the case, refuse to go away, and things do shift.”

Although unable to attend in person, broadcaster and environmental campaigner Peter Gibbs sent a supportive message praising the role the ECO Action Hub has played in helping residents access trusted advice, practical support, and local expertise.

Peter said: “To do ‘the right thing’, people need reliable advice… which is why something like the ECO Action Hub is so important.” He also highlighted the importance of supporting nature locally, including making gardens more wildlife-friendly across the borough.

Three years on from its launch, the message from the event was clear: ECO Action’s next phase is not about slowing down — it is about growing outward into the community and inspiring even more people to take practical local action.

🌱 VOLUNTEERS COORDINATOR ROLE

Dear Volunteers and Supporters.

Our wonderful Volunteers Coordinator, Harpreet, is moving on to an exciting new role (great news for her!) — which means we’re now looking for someone to take on this hugely important role within ECO Action.

As you know, everything we do depends on volunteers. And as we evolve — especially with changes to how we run our Hub — supporting, connecting and growing our volunteer community is more important than ever.

This role sits right at the heart of ECO Action. It’s about welcoming new people, helping them find their place, and keeping our volunteer community active, informed and connected.

We’ll make sure there’s a smooth handover from Harpreet, so you’ll be well supported stepping in.

If you enjoy connecting people, organising things, and being part of a friendly, purpose-driven team — this could be a great fit.

👉 Interested?

We look forward to hearing from you and welcoming you into our team!!

🌍 Volunteer Role: National Action Coordinator

Help Drive National Change for Climate and Nature

At ECO Action, we believe real impact comes when personal actions are matched with collective effort. That’s why we encourage everyone to Take Action across four areas:

  • Personal – follow a Personal Action Plan
  • Communicate – talk to family and friends
  • Community – volunteer locally
  • National – demand bigger changes from those in power

We’re now looking for an enthusiastic volunteer to lead the charge in that fourth area — National Action.

What You’ll Do

As National Action Coordinator, you’ll help local people amplify their voices and influence national decisions. Your role includes:

🔹 Petition & Campaign Coordination

  • Gather and maintain a list of credible national petitions (e.g. from Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, The Climate Coalition)
  • Choose and highlight the most urgent and impactful ones
  • Store and share them with our supporters via our Google Drive
  • Identify Climate or Nature Bills due to be debated in Parliament
  • Encourage our community to contact their MP and sign key petitions

🔹 Collaborate with National Organisations

  • Liaise with groups like Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth about any national campaigns happening locally
  • Let our volunteer base know how they can get involved in actions such as leafleting or door-knocking

🔹 Engage Local Politicians

  • Help us connect more regularly with local MPs, especially Josh Reynolds (Maidenhead) and Jack Rankin (Windsor), and others as appropriate
  • Explore working with local Labour or other party groups to influence policy
  • Look for opportunities to encourage political parties to go further and faster for Climate and Nature

What You’ll Bring

  • Passion for Climate and Nature
  • Good organisational skills
  • Confidence with online tools (e.g. Google Drive, email)
  • Ability to communicate with people and inspire action

You don’t need to be a policy expert — just someone who cares and is ready to help others speak up.

Why It Matters

National decisions shape the future of our planet. As National Action Coordinator, you’ll play a crucial role in empowering local voices to influence national policy — and in doing so, help protect the climate and restore nature for generations to come.

🌱 Ready to Step Up?
