Northfield Eco Centre

Our Aim

We aim to provide a place where residents in the local and wider Birmingham area can find information and practical encouragement to make their homes and lifestyles more sustainable. This will impact on both global warming and on global capacity to sustain life on earth.

Our Mission

To make it easier for home owners and tenants to find practical ways of cutting the carbon.

What's  New

Northfield  Eco Centre is currently undergoing refurbishment and will be opening in Autumn 2008. It is located on Church Road Northfield next to Oulsnams Estate Agent, next door to the Adult Education Centre and not far from the Library.

There is a Management Committee responsible for the development of the centre. While the building work is going on we want to make contact with other groups in South Birmingham already working for the City's 'Cutting CO₂'.

Please contact us to arrange a meeting. Details on the contact page.
