Sustainable infrastructure · Community · Opportunity
Building what
communities need.
Sustainable infrastructure. Stronger communities. Better opportunities.We connect people, ideas and resources to create resilient infrastructure and lasting social value.
Our approach
Infrastructure should do more than stand. It should create opportunity.
Build
Sustainable infrastructure and retrofit that communities can actually use, low-carbon, climate-resilient, built to last.
Connect
People, partners and resources in the same room. Local groups, public bodies, funders and enterprise, working as one.
Empower
Skills, employment and enterprise so infrastructure creates livelihoods, not just buildings.
Sustain
Long-term impact and community ownership. We stay until the work belongs to the people it serves.

Community at the heart of everything.

North Greenway's rain gardens took a 1-in-30 storm in May. The school field next door stayed dry.
What is ConnectVibeco ?
We connect people, ideas and resources to create resilient infrastructure and lasting social value. We work with communities, public bodies, funders and partners so that the buildings and places we deliver stay in community hands.
What do you do?
Our work has four parts: sustainable infrastructure, community assets, social development and social value. In practice that means retrofit and civic buildings, skills and youth programmes, and counting the jobs, training and local spend each project creates.
