Lead Organisation

Sustainability West Midlands Project Managers: Anna Bright (Chief Executive) / Simon Slater (Director of Policy and Partnerships)

“Over the past five years SWM has provided invaluable independent expertise and supported the Society in our work towards being more sustainable and helping to build strong local communities. SWM is able to bring their in-depth awareness of good practice to our Environmental Steering Group. They encourage us to build on our achievements and showcase them, but also challenge our approach to ensure we stretch ourselves and go one step further.” – Mike Pickering, Community and Sustainability Manager, The Midcounties Co-operative
