Get Involved with Eco Communities 🌱
Eco Communities is a community interest company working to make sustainable living easier and more accessible in Chester and beyond. While we are a small team of directors, everything we do is powered by people who care about their communities and the planet.
In 2026 we are expanding our Full Circle Refill and Reuse project, supporting local events and organising the Chester Green Festival this June. We’re inviting people who want to help create positive change to get involved.
You don’t need special skills or lots of time — just enthusiasm and a willingness to support your community.
Ways you can get involved:
• Help run stalls for our Full Circle Refill and Reuse Shop at markets and events
• Support the Chester Green Festival planning and events on 7th and 14th June
• Share leaflets and posters where you live
• Help connect us with schools, workplaces or community groups
• Support research, social media or creative projects
• Help promote refill, reuse and sustainable living in your community
Whether you can give a few hours at an event or help regularly with projects, every bit of support makes a difference.
