Ecoworks - Community Insight Visit

9 March 2012

About The Host

Ecoworks is a thriving and dynamic social enterprise supporting and inspiring sustainable food and health across the St. Ann’s neighbourhood in Nottingham and throughout the city. It exists to promote the interests and personal development of people who are socially disadvantaged by delivering conservation, restoration and environment enhancing activities.

Ecoworks is community focused, developing food locally, working with local volunteers, getting involved in local community events, engaging with local businesses and local authorities to insure change, and putting local people and the local environment first in all it does.

About the visit

The day will give you a chance to learn more about Ecoworks, what achievements they’ve had and what sets them apart. What challenges they’ve had to overcome and how they have involved local people and partners. It will give you the opportunity to explore the lessons they’ve learned along the way and give you ideas to bring back to your own organisation.

The day will include a discussion and question and answer session, a tour of their premises and gardens (weather permitting) and a chance to meet staff and volunteers. It will finish with a networking lunch.
