About us

We are a small, London based Community Interest (CIC) Company Co-Operative. We formally became a CIC COOP business in 2023, meaning we are owned and controlled by our members, to meet their shared needs.

We have been running since 2020 and we are super proud of our focus on environment, community and circularity.

As a CO-OP we operate according to 7 organising principles which are:

  • being owned and controlled by its members.
  • being democratic – meaning every member has an equal say in how it’s run and how profits are used.
  • members contributes financially in some way – from buying products, working for the co-op, investing in it or deciding how to spend its profits.  
  • a co-op is an independent business,
  • offers education and training to everyone involved, so they can develop the co-op and promote the benefits of co-operation.
  • It co-operates, works with and supports other co-ops.
  • A co-op supports the communities it works with.

We have a Board of Directors made up of our organisation’s founding members – see our team below. We are in the ongoing process of putting together a Governance Committee (or Board); basically a group of folk who support our vision and have the experience and passion to help advise us and make decisions. The committee will play a pivotal role in overseeing the strategic direction of Circular Revolution, and relevant decision making powers could be deferred where appropriate. If you are interested in being a part of the running of Circular Revolution please get in touch!

Volunteers

Circular Revolution welcomes those who, instead of paying the subscription fee, are able to offer their time, expertise or skills in exchange for a monthly subscription. We currently have four volunteers who received E-Cargo bike training to complete a short volunteer collection round every 2 months. We are looking to add another volunteer collection round in the near future, as the demand for our service increases. We are also keen to hear from people who are able to support Circular Revolution’s operations.
