History
This website began as a blog in 2013 called Foraging in Birmingham (FiB). After a year of investigating the frugal life in Birmingham however, we discovered there was a wealth of areas we wanted to explore including building from reclaimed wood, bushcraft, keeping livestock and other free foods. We therefore expanded on 25th March 2014 with Sustainable Life and created a new facebook page to showcase our new website. We then started the Sustainable Life CIC in 2020 which changed name to the Ethical Living Group CIC.
Basecamp – Humble Beginnings
Our base of operations is in Stirchley, we started life in a small terraced house in south Birmingham with nothing but a small paved back yard. Many of our courses are available across Birmingham including Stirchley/Bournville, Highbury Park (Kings Heath), Kingstanding, Perry Barr, Hall Green. We are always looking to expand our venues to make our courses more accessible so if you have a venue you think we may be interested in please let us know!
Community Projects
Sustainable Life also ran a Voluntary Organisation from 2019 to 2024 and delivered a wide range of community projects primarily in Stirchley, Birmingham. This work has now ended as it has become necessary to seperate the two organisations to avoid confusion. But don’t worry, many of our board members are still avid members of the community working on other community projects and boards including the new Green Haven VO and of course Friends of Rea Valley Stirchley
