EcoTogether is a grassroots initiative that brings people together to take meaningful, achievable climate action. Inspired by the success of community-led programmes like Transition Streets, EcoTogether empowers small groups to make big changes – one step at a time.
What We Believe
We believe that everyone has the power to make a difference and that change is easier when it’s shared. By combining practical actions with the support of a group, EcoTogether transforms sustainability into something that feels rewarding, impactful and manageable.
How It Works
EcoTogether revolves around five structured sessions, each focused on a key area of sustainable living:
- Energy: Simple ways to save energy and money at home.
- Transport: Smarter travel choices that reduce emissions.
- Food: Eating sustainably without compromising on enjoyment.
- Resources: Reducing waste and embracing circular habits.
- Reflection: Looking back on what’s been achieved and exploring next steps.
Groups meet in person or online, following activity sheets designed to be easy, engaging and effective. Members share ideas, track progress and support each other in turning their goals into actions.
Why It Matters
Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our time, but it’s not insurmountable. When we work together, even small changes can ripple out to create a big impact. EcoTogether focuses on:
- Connection: Building relationships that make sustainability feel personal and rewarding.ack progress and support each other in turning their goals into actions.
- Accessibility: Actions anyone can take, regardless of their starting point.
- Scalability: A model that can grow from one group to an entire community.
What Makes EcoTogether Different
EcoTogether stands out because it doesn’t just focus on individual actions – it’s about empowering groups to create a collective impact. Unlike other programmes, it combines practicality with community support, making it:
- Flexible: You can start small and adapt the programme to your group’s needs.
- Action-Oriented: Every session is designed to produce tangible results, whether that’s reducing energy use or rethinking how we consume resources.
- Supportive: EcoTogether’s tools and materials guide you every step of the way, so you’re never left wondering what to do next.
Our Vision
We envision a world where sustainability is a shared journey, not an individual burden. Through small, community-driven actions, we believe we can:
- Shift social norms to make sustainable living the default choice.
- Foster resilience by strengthening local communities.
- Influence larger systems by demonstrating the power of collective change.
EcoTogether is not just about tackling the climate crisis – it’s about building a better, more connected future for everyone.
Our Inspiration
EcoTogether was inspired by the award-winning Transition Streets project, which showed how neighbours working together could save money, reduce carbon footprints and build stronger communities. EcoTogether also acknowledges the early support and inspiration provided by Transition Bath, a local organisation dedicated to fostering sustainable practices and community resilience. We’ve adapted that model to focus not just on actions but on the powers we all have to create change – as individuals, as groups and as advocates for broader systems change.

EcoTogether is more than a programme – it’s a growing movement of people who believe in the power of collaboration.
