JUST SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH CAR SEAT BELTS AND TRUCK TYRES!

The first phase of CHANGING LIFESTYLES ECO CENTRE is now open at

45-46 Loveday Street

B4 6NR

Built in the 1790s, this area of The Gun Quarter originated as terraced domestic workshops, and still retains some of the original features.  Already, we've met people who lived here as children and whose grandparents ran grocers shops and other retail outlets.   There are people still working in this relatively little known 'quarter' of inner city Birmingham who are third or fourth generation in the same business.

SO ACCESSIBLE!

Just 10 minutes walk from SNOW HILL STATION and 5 minutes from ASston University main entrance, Loveday Street also contains partners TRILBY MULTIMEDIA, with whom we undertake new ventures in education.

The 3 storey Eco Centre contains a retail outlet for selected quality products in either recycled materials (Terra Plana footwear and bags), or sustainable, such as Pelcor's incredible cork fabric fashion items.

There are meeting rooms and a craft room, and office and internet facilities available to associated groups.

We are in the early stages on building a one stop consultancy for all things "eco".  This includes:-

a) access to information on environmentally acceptable products - in food; fashion; and fuel;

b) demonstrations and introductions to products and services, for example chemical free cleaning;

c) acces to independent experts in energy conservation and installation;

d) education programmes and practical sessions both for schools and for adult groups.
