The project will:
Help divert waste from landfill
Provide learning opportunities on how to upcycle, repair, and create something new from something old
Aim to grow into a sustainable self funding business whilst filling market gaps and helping our community to divert perfectly good or fixable items from landfill, with a focus on items which are not accepted by the existing Thrift Shops / local charity shops eg:
o Furniture pieces
o Electrical items
o Art and craft materials
o Stationary supplies
o Some damaged items which still can be fixed
All of the above items will be accepted, repaired or upcycled where necessary and sold for profit, which will be reinvested back into funding the project. Additional eventual aspirations of the project will be:
Workshops
Classes and open tables;. Using our resources we plan to have a series of simple classes, for
example:
o Making fabric gift bags
o Creating reusable cards
o Updating lampshades
o All focused-on Reuse / Repurpose / Rehome
