Every product has a life cycle – so it is important that we maximise the use of all materials we take from the planet – That means reusing and recycling as well as sharing resources rather than owning them.
The circular economy saves us money and saves on carbon emissions

Electric Community Car
North Lanarkshire’s first electric community car for use by community groups to alleviate transport problems in the Northern Corridor
Share Time with our volunteer drivers scheme
Poor public transport has a huge impact on health inequality in the Northern Corridor – could you volunteer some time to help get people to essential health or wellbeing services?
Community Groups
Sharing isn’t just about a few streets around us – the more we share, whether that’s skills, knowledge, experience or resources the better we can help our communities – so please get in touch to join our community led action network
CLAN Community Led Action Network
Communities need and deserve Grassroots action and solutions on everything from tackling health inequalities to reducing their carbon footprints, they deserve accountable, trusted and embedded local community organisations and partnerships who add value, and are in it for the long haul.
Yet the grassroots sector is under immense pressure as more and more resources are absorbed in an effort to keep statutory organisations afloat and protect middle management jobs with no proximity to local needs.
With immense thanks to the National Lottery for funding this pilot project which hopes to demonstrate that organic networking, pooling of resource and cross boundary placed based working led my community groups themselves provides better outcomes, at less cost than the current Non Profit Industrial Complex ethos of top down control.
The network will encourage collaboration over competition, resource and skill sharing, working together on grants, community benefits and procurement opportunities and building a sustainable third sector rather than one that relies on trickle down economics.
