Good living
FEL is here to help people, their communities and our planet thrive.
We believe that powerful change can be simple to make.
And we design the collaborative social and environmental projects that deliver it – helping everyone take small steps to make their lives better and the world a healthier, happier, more sustainable place.
What we doGreat people
We’re just like you. We’re committed to changing lives and protecting our planet. We’re determined to make a difference.
Show, don’t tell
We don’t tell anyone what to do.
We show communities what’s possible and help them figure out what works best for them. Then we work together to make positive change happen – for people and the planet.
How we do that is what makes our projects succeed:
-
We work in the real world – making ‘the environment’ meaningful by making it personal.
-
We live here too – we know the people and places we help, what they have and what they need.
-
We’re community-centric – our projects are focused on helping people live well, feel good and look after where they live.
-
We’re straight talking – climate change is complicated, but the way we speak about it isn’t.
-
We join the dots – our projects connect people and expertise, drawing on established networks and always building new ones.
That’s how we’re changing our world for the better, project by project.
It’s how we help people, communities and our planet thrive.

The ebike trial gave us the chance to try cycling again as we had not had bikes for a long time. I think an e-bike gives the option of using it without power if you want and also the option of extra power if you need or want it. We go further on our e-bikes."

Following damage to my back it was suggested I should consider cycling to aid my rehab. The E-bike loan scheme was instrumental in helping me to understand the benefits this technology had to offer and I was hooked from the first ride. "

The cargo bike was a fantastic asset to GBT and the local community, especially throughout the pandemic. We have since thought more about how bikes can be used in all our services and how they can be used to transport local goods. "
Getting Better Together CaféHaving the opportunity to try different types of e bikes and accessories before buying takes away a lot of the risk of choosing the wrong bike to start with. This has been a really good experience, fab bikes, great advice and helpful staff, can’t ask for more."
eBike library customerI have loved having an e bike. To be honest I never really saw the point of them because bikes are for exercise however, having that boost helped me to go further safe in the knowledge I could get home It was a great experience and I’ve loved having the bike."
eBike library customerStaff that provide this scheme have been very supportive and flexible in allowing out of normal hours collections and drop off. I will encourage others to take up this scheme in future."
eBike library customerFantastic service, really appreciated the opportunity to try the cargo bike and see how much it really could be a genuine car alternative!"
