UTTOXETER SUSTAINABILITY HUB - RENT A SPACE

We are developing a Sustainability Hub for eco-minded organisations. The hub will be a space for collaboration and sharing ideas, as well as a good space for your organisation to call home. You don't necessarily need to be an environmental organisation but you do need to share our eco-ethos.

We have a number of office spaces to rent, if you'd like more details or to book a viewing, please contact [email protected] or call 01889 560986

Update from the Globe Foundation.

🌍 CHANGES AT GLOBE ECO CENTRE (Long Post Alert!) 🌍

We're writing to share some important changes happening at the Globe Eco Centre. It's a bittersweet moment as we evolve to better serve our community and tackle the pressing issues of climate change. Decisions to reconfigure some of our services have been incredibly hard.

With heavy hearts, we’ll be closing our Recycling Hub and Repair Room at the end of August. These services have been a cornerstone of our work but for varying reasons these programmes have drawn to a natural conclusion, we're incredibly grateful for the community's support.

Our Eco Shop will also be undergoing a transformation late in 2024. We’ll be repurposing the space for an exciting new energy project that will directly benefit our community. PLEASE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE SHOP IN THE MEANTIME.

HOWEVER while these decisions are difficult, they pave the way for an even brighter future. Core Globe services will continue unaffected, including venue hire, community events and training, Places Of Welcome and the wider projects we deliver across the County. In fact, we're expanding our reach to offer more volunteer opportunities and make a bigger difference than ever before. 💪

We have a new project starting later in the year to tackle fuel poverty along with maintaining existing projects such as the Staffordshire & Stoke On Trent COP, Green Skills, Carbon Literacy, Doughnut Economics and much more.

Whilst most of our volunteers will be remaining with us, it's a good moment to pause and reflect on the countless hours they have dedicated to making our community a better place - THANK YOU ALL -

IMPORTANT DATES

🧰 Last day for electrical repairs: Friday, August 30th.(no longer able to accept textiles, wood or leather repairs) We may close the Repair Room early if we get too many items.

♻️ Last day for recycling: Saturday, August 31st.

(If there are local community groups that would be interested in taking the Recycling Or Repair Room programmes on, we are happy to discuss.)

Thank you for your continued support and patience as we progress these changes.

Buy buying locally made products you reduce your impact on the planet. But there are so many products out there that have so much packaging. Come discover products with less packaging at the Globe Eco shop, Church street, Uttoxeter.

Yesterday we at The Globe Foundation received a bleed kit which is now stored with the defibrillator outside the Eco shop. It's great that we get to be a location which is easy to find and access just off the Maltings car park. St14 8AG
