#GiveMe5 - Nov  29th and Dec 16th 2016

We just wanted to let you know that Eco Communities is taking part in Localgiving's upcoming #GiveMe5 campaigns.

On November 29th and December 16th 2016 Localgiving will be matching 1000 X £5 donations.

●      29th November is #GivingTuesday, a day when people around the world come together to give back.

●      16th December is Local Charities Day,  a new government run celebration of small, local charities and community groups

Each campaign is open for 24 hours giving you the option to donate at a time that suits you. All £5 donations have the same chance of being matched. At the end of each campaign 1,000 donations will be randomly selected to benefit from an additional £5 of match funding, with successful donors being notified within 3 working days.

Please consider supporting us

We are raise funds to keep your local community library open. Every £5 given on the day will have a big impact.

Thank you for your support of the library through your many donations.

Due to a number of challenges, we are unable to accept any non-working small electrical items, computers or laptops.

We are still able to accept working laptops, books, DVDs and CDs.  These items will help the Library through re-sale.

Thank you for your continued support.

Eco Charities Management Team,

Staff and volunteers at your local Eco Community Library

Not a single bee has ever sent you an invoice. And that is part of the problem – because most of what comes to us from nature is free, because it is not invoiced, because it is not priced, because it is not traded in markets, we tend to ignore it.”

My father taught me that the fate of a seed can be predicted by the health of the soil where it takes root. This is true of summer crops. It can be true, in another sense, of people. We all need a healthy environment and a community that lets us fulfill our potential.
