About Us
Here you will find some background information about GreenWeb, together with our adopted Constitution.
Background Monmouthshire GreenWeb was inspired by the example of a similar project in Herefordshire. A small committee was formed to take the project forward and GreenWeb was formally constituted as a voluntary organisation in 2001. A grant of £2,000 from Monmouthshire County Council, together with the contribution of the Council's Local Agenda 21 Community Officer, as GreenWeb Secretary enabled us to commission the design of a web site which went live in 2002.
Since then our membership has grown to about 50 organisations, this web site has been improved, and we have created a second web site - a directory of local suppliers of green goods and services together with tips on adopting a more green and ethical lifestyle. Our funding has shifted from grant dependency to income from services provided to others and from membership subscriptions, plus volunteer effort.
Constitution This constitution was adopted on 26th September 2001. Each member organisation must appoint an individual to represent it at meetings of the association (and may appoint an alternate member). Thus all member organisations, regardless of size, have equal representation. An annual general meeting must be held which will elect an executive committee and receive an annual report and accounts.
