Discovery
Knowing about the technology and processes of sustainable living enables us as individuals and as a society to be more resilient and better equipped to deal with the challenges that lie ahead. We run open days and dedicated tailored courses for those wishing to expand their knowledge of everything to do with sustainability ranging from energy, mobility, habitat, food and well being.

Well-being
Taking back control of where your energy comes from, where your food comes, where your water comes from and how you power your mobility is not only good for the planet but good for your general well being. Furthermore, living a sustainable life inevitably brings us closer to nature, the environment and the community at large which further enriches our lives.
