They are currently planning their first in-person event – a SustainaBrum Sustainable Christmas Market at Attic Brew Co, a local brewery in Stirchley in Birmingham on the 20th November – come along to pick up sustainable Christmas gifts for your loved ones, whilst enjoying a locally brewed beer!
Jen and Faye are also keen to hear from other Birmingham-based businesses who consider themselves environmentally and / or socially sustainable, to help them grow their green database!
