about
We want to create a more harmonious relationship between the outdoor community and our natural world.
who we are
Hi there! I am Stephen Cousins, the Founder of Bluebird Exchange C.I.C
We are an Edinburgh based Social Enterprise driving social and environmental change in the outdoor community through local circular economy initiatives.
social enterprise
We are registered as a Community Interest Company (CIC).
A CIC is a special type of limited company which exists to benefit the community rather than private shareholders.
In short: we are trying to do something positive for the local community rather than just making money.
community focused
We think grass-roots community action is the best way to make an impact. That's why the majority of our work and donations come from the local Edinburgh outdoor community. You'll often see Stephen whizzing about on his bike picking up donations or dropping things off.
