We want governments and businesses to understand the issues our communities are facing, and the massive impact volunteers are having across the country.
The best way of demonstrating this is with data – showing exactly how many people are getting involved, how many hours are being dedicated to looking after the environment, the range of activities taking place, and what’s being found on our streets, beaches and in our parks.
That’s why we need everyone to share what they’ve been doing via eCount Cymru.
eCount Cymru is an easy-to-use form on our website.
No account or login details are required; the form takes two minutes to complete, and it can be filled out on a computer or mobile device, you just need an internet connection.
It has been developed and tested in conjunction with volunteers to help ensure the process is as quick and straightforward as possible. Hopefully, less time spent reporting will mean you can spend more time caring for your local environment.
We use the data from eCount Cymru to guide our work and demonstrate the impact of volunteering to governments and businesses.
Our Community Impact Map lets you see the activities that have been recorded by Litter Champions, community groups, Litter Picking Hubs, Litter Free Zones and other partners.
We’ll also be celebrating the overall results from eCount Cymru on a regular basis on our social channels and in the media.
Visit the Community Impact Map to explore and export your data. The map includes everyone’s recorded activities since 2018.
You can use the data collected to support your own grant applications, or to have a consistent and reliable history of your activity to share with your local community, policy makers and planners.
Epicollect is no longer available. We made the switch on 1 July 204 and are now encouraging everyone to use eCount Cymru.
We truly believe eCount is much quicker and easier to use.
Don’t worry, the data you have submitted to Epicollect hasn’t been deleted. All your data is now available on the Community Impact Map.
