ECOmmunity Together CIC as been involved in the development of several initiatives, raising awareness for example animal welfare, environmental issues and ecological protection within the local community. This culminated in setting up a Social Enterprise - ECOmmunity Together CIC.

Welcome to ECOmmunity, it is my great pleasure sharing the story. In 2004, at 16 years old I set up a Local Animal Welfare Society in North East Lincolnshire for the protection of animals and wildlife conservation in the local area. We developed into an Environmental Social Responsibility Society (ESRS) in 2009 we were featured in the Grimsby Telegraph for Saltmarsh project by bringing the community together by providing ecological awareness in Cleethorpes.

Balancing the ecological protection and the local economy this being one of our community projects in 2010 and 2011 est. Our offices was located and based in Grimsby Business Centre of North East Lincolnshire, City of Hull and City of York from 2004-2012 est.

ECOmmunity had to dissolve as our funding budget was cut in 2012. So, there has been a gap in our story. So, in 2021, I decided to relaunch ECOmmunity Together CIC, due to being committed to environmental protection and community projects and offering services that can minimise the risk and impact to the environment as a whole.
