Our Projects

🏡 What Is the ECO Action Hub?

Think of the ECO Action Hub as your go-to place for planet-friendly living! 🌟 We’re a local charity packed with ideas, tools, and real-world support to help you live more sustainably — and feel great doing it. 💡 From energy-saving tips to community-led events, we’ve created a space where people can learn, share, and take action together.

🌱 Your support keeps us growing! We’re funded by donations and subscriptions & we may kindly suggest a small contribution when you use our services, so we can continue helping others thrive.

At ECO Action, we believe that everyone can make a difference — and it starts with small, positive steps. Together with all our amazing eco partners, we tackle key areas of the Climate & Nature Emergency, from energy and food to waste and biodiversity.

Going from strength to strength since being set up 2 years ago and now relocating to the ECO Action Hub from March, the Repair Café is all about the importance of make-do-and-mend for sustainable living.

Learn new skills, meet new people and create the habit of repairing and reusing things. Repair skills available in the hub include:

  • textiles, sewing
  • woodwork, dolls, toys
  • small electrical items, such as vacuums (excludes microwaves)

We aim to fix anything, our volunteers love to solve problems! Check out our Facebook and Instagram to find out what we have been fixing.

Open from 10:00 to 15:00 every second Saturday each month. Pre-book a free service-ticket by clicking ‘Register’ on our Eventbrite page.
