Supporting local groups
We are here to support local environmental groups and projects.
Community environment groups are welcome to use the Centre and its resources, in line with our purpose. Support from PEC can include:

- Using the Centre as a venue for an event or training
- Auspicing
- Promotion of your groups activities
- Support and advice and help you connect to the right people
We try to support local groups and love to discuss new project ideas, explore ways to collaborate or help to promote local environmental groups and activities.
If you have a great idea for an environmental project or group, do get in touch!
Caring for and learning about the Coast
Our beautiful Natural Coastal, Marine and Estuarine environment.
PEC promotes the activities of local coast, marine and estuarine groups. Come into the Centre or look online to find out how you can get involved. For example: dune care, seagrass monitoring, clean ups, citizen science initiatives.
We offer a range of workshops, events, walks and more to help you learn about our local environment, as well as offering resources and information online and through handouts available at the Centre.
Our e-news is also a great way to hear about ways to get involved and learn more. Sign up for our mailing list here.
