Founded by Erika Keshelya, Clare Evans and Deb McDonald in 2022.
We are based in the beautiful setting of Hawbush Gardens, Brierley Hill.

Ekho Collective CIC is a social enterprise committed to fostering positive change through inclusive, community-driven initiatives with a strong emphasis on the profound benefits of nature connection for health and wellbeing.
Our projects are designed to integrate the healing power of nature into our local community,
recognising that a harmonious relationship with the environment is essential for overall wellness, but not equally realised by all due to complex inequalities. Our work seeks to remove barriers, increase inclusion and realise the benefits of engaging with nature for all people.
Our first two years have seen us busy growing projects around, green social prescribing, children and young people’s wellbeing and innovative heritage and arts projects, all the while, carefully enhancing and improving the land we work with and empowering our local community to thrive.
By fostering nature-centric initiatives, we aim to improve mental and physical health, reduce stress, and enhance community cohesion, by cultivating a deeper connection to nature, as we believe that a healthier planet leads to healthier individuals and communities.
