Focus Green

Going Green

Focus is a family and we would love to work together to reduce the environmental impact of Focus and make it as green as possible.

Recycled wristbands – Our weekend-long fabric wristbands will be made from recycled materials.
No plastic cafés – All Focus cafés will be free of plastic bottles and plastic straws.
More water points – Fill up your reusable bottles with fresh, drinkable water from water points across the site. No plastic bottles will be given out to the Team.
More sinks – We now have more sinks than ever before for you to wash up your reusable cutlery and crockery.
No bulky event guide – We host all our event information on the Focus app which is available to download in July.
Leftover food collection – We are coordinating a food sharing initiative for leftover food at the end of the event to reduce our food waste.
No cars onsite – We encourage team to use bicycles, which means fewer buggies across the site.
We will ask food vendors to bring recyclable, compostable or biodegrable disposables onsite only.
There will be an onsite waste management company dedicated to ensuring everything is recycled properly, including greater recycling bag provision within community pitches.
There will be LED lighting in the Big Top and across site, another way in which we are working to reduce our energy usage.

Join the Green Team – We are looking for environmentally passionate people to volunteer on the Focus Green team.
Green pitch contest – To encourage you as a church we are running a competition for the most environmentally friendly pitch. The prize will be a free community pitch in 2025.
Dispose of your waste correctly. There will be plenty of recycling bins around the site.
Bring your own reusable cutlery, plate and cup for meal times. We are offering more washing up points to facilitate this.
Bring a reusable water bottle which you can refill at our many water stations.
Bring a keep cup for hot drinks.
Use water responsibly – Make sure taps are turned off properly and don’t take too long in the showers.
Save energy at home while at Focus – Make sure you haven’t left your TV and other appliances on standby, and that all lights and all non-essential plug sockets are turned off.
Ride share – Get on the coach, offer a lift to a friend, or get public transport to reduce the environmental impact of travel to Focus. Find out more about travel to Focus here.
