In person: the event takes place at our first-ever branch at 44 Hannah Street, Porth CF39 9RA. You can register to attend using the details below.

While this year’s agenda will cover the formal business of our AGM, we're continuing to hold Member Meet-ups throughout the year and will share details with Members as these are confirmed.

We'll send invitation packs to eligible Members with all the information you need to vote in our AGM, as well as details of how to join us in Porth or online. If you need any help, please contact us on 01535 650770.

  • Hear about our 2025 performance
  • Meet other Ecology members in a friendly environment

About our new Porth branch

Ecology chose Porth in South Wales for its first-ever branch having identified the town as one of several across the UK facing long-standing inequalities in access and opportunity.

In Wales alone, over 62% of High Street bank branches have closed their doors in the last decade, with Porth’s last remaining bank closing in October 2017, making it difficult for residents and local business to access key financial services.
