How Do we Deliver This?
Who
We all have a part to play, and the Environment Centre is here to help. Our community hub is a central resource to support individuals, organisations and communities take their own environmental action and drive the change towards sustainable living.
What
Ever had the feeling of wanting to ‘do something about it’ but don’t know where to start? We want to;
Engage - Find out what inspires you to make a change
Educate – Provide you the information you need
Enable - Make the connections and seek out opportunities
Empower - Support you to take the actions you want
Why
We’ve seen the documentaries, the news and the science. For our local environment (and ourselves!) we need to tackle pollution of our air, waters and land, increase and improve our green spaces, be active when we travel, reduce waste and use our energy and resources efficiently. Climate Change and Biodiversity Loss are two of the greatest challenges of our time. But remember, small local action can lead to a big change!
Where
The Centre is located on Pier Street, SA1 1RY but we support community activity throughout Swansea and beyond.

There is no better time to act than right now! Browse our website to find out more, call in and see us at the Centre or get in touch to find out how we can help.
