ECCO (Environmental Conservation Co-Operative) was set up in 1995 in Harlow, Essex. (Charity no.1130574) We currently have three reuse shops which rely completely on donations from the public by reusing unwanted goods.
”For 12 years ECCO has been instrumental in the running of the reserve, as well as providing activities for local families to get close to nature. We are truly grateful and wish ECCO all the best for the future, as the council also looks forward to the future of the reserve and its next new venture.” Cllr Nicky Purse 
ECCO makes £10,000 donation to Harlow Foodbank. ”Every time someone purchases a donated DVD, CD or vinyl record from one of our shops, they are helping to make a difference. The money raised from these sales is then matched pound for pound by ECCO, doubling the impact of every purchase.” 
 ”It was inspiring to see how the project has brought the whole community together — from parents braving the elements to build it, to the generosity of ecco charity and local residents whose donations helped make it possible. A huge thank you to the entire school community for such a warm welcome!” MP Josh Dean 
”We are incredibly grateful to ECCO for its funding & support over the past 12 years. This support has helped us put on hundreds of KS1 school trips, seasonalk events & bio-diversity days.” PWNR Manager 
”Because of the money you gave us, we’ve been able to do so many brilliant things. We’ve planted flowers, vegetables & herbs. We’ve also learnt how to look after them properly” Mrs Kendal – Headteacher at St Lukes Primary 
”They have a real presence in Harlow – not least shown by the constant stream of donations and customers in and out of their shop! We spoke about their Ecco Environmental Fund which provides grants to community projects that promote sustainability or help alleviate poverty and more!” Chris Vince MP 
‘ECCO Environmental Charity was proud to provide funding to Butterfly Effect Wellbeing to help deliver weekly hot meals for people in our community who are experiencing financial hardship, poor mental health, or social isolation.”
