Community environmental development
Our services > Community environmental development
At the Selby Centre, we have established space for many environmental enterprises. The Selby Trust now recycles bikes, grows fruit and vegetables and stimulates the creative use of textiles. Together this helps achieve our triple bottom line – integrating green values with positive social and economic outcomes. In the future, we have plans to green the Selby Centre as part of a wider Selby Centre and Bull Lane site development by ensuring the new facilities deliver low carbon usage as a model of good practice.
