EMERGE is excited to invite our local community, members of the public and organisations to join us in expanding reuse and recycling for social good in Greater Manchester and Liverpool. Become a Community Shareholder and help us to develop our pioneering social enterprise and deliver a revitalised Business Plan over the next three years.
We’re actively seeking social investors, who want to make a real difference to the environment by developing a more sustainable future, through materials’ conservation, local employment and community engagement.
We are looking for investor members who support the mission of EMERGE Recycling rather than simply seeking financial returns. As such, the level of return is designed to be the minimum sufficient to attract and retain the investment, through community shares. Our financial modelling indicates that we will be able to pay up to 5% interest on members’ shares from the financial year 2026/7.
Your investment will contribute towards making a more sustainable North West, including:
- Touch Wood’s workshop and shop facilities
- Recruitment of an Apprentice and Training
- Digitisation of our systems to enable greater operational efficiency and a customer portal
- Marketing campaigns to engage more people and collect more materials for reuse and recyling
- Greener vehicles
