Our achievements
We started as VEG in 2019 to fill a vacuum left by cuts in Worcester City Council staff. We became WEG in 2020 due to requests to help in other parts of the city. Until recently we've been run entirely by volunteers. We've just appointed a part-time paid post of a volunteer coordinator. We have a steering group of professional ecologists and knowledgeable naturalists working with us. Here is a list of 20 things we've achieved so far:
