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.

how we are going green

  • 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.

how you can help

  • 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 2026.

  • 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 – Offer a lift to a friend, or get public transport to reduce the environmental impact of travel to Focus.
