About the club

A membership organisationbuilt on practical work.

The club exists to turn environmental concern into delivery — projects with named owners, recorded activity and figures that can be checked.

Who we are

Volunteers, organisedaround four programme areas.

The club is run entirely by volunteers. Members elect an executive committee each year, and every project has a named lead who reports against objectives set at the start.

Membership is open to young people aged 16 to 40 who support the club's sustainability principles, adhere to the constitution and complete registration.
