Did you know that we do sewing repairs?
Dick had bought this fleece over 30 years ago at the Earth Centre outside Doncaster, and said that it was the first time he had ever seen plastic being reused at the time.
"My wife to be and I were driving back from a camping trip in Scotland and I was keen to see this place being created called the Earth Centre. I found the fleece in the shop and to my surprise and delight it said it had been made out of recycled plastic bottles. This was the first time I was aware of any plastic being reused, particularly to make into a fabric."
Unfortunately the zip recently broke, and our sewing repairer Catherine worked hard to replace it! She said that whilst the fleece is very soft, it is made from a very tough fabric and several machine needles were broken whilst trying to sew through it.
The fleece is well loved and has been worn by all of Dick`s family on camping trips over the years - now that it has been repaired it can be worn and loved for many years more!

We`ll be running a beginner workshop to teach essential skills and give you confidence on using power and hand tools, perfect for if some furniture breaks or needs TLC - you will know the right tool for the job and how to repair it.
It will include:
✨ Learning which tool is the best one to use for the job

✨ Safe use and issues to look out for
You will get hands on experience and tools will be provided, please note that this is not for the experienced or professionals and is not certified training. Under 18s are welcome, but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
The workshop will run in our shop on George Street from 2-4pm ️on Saturday the 22nd February. We are asking for a suggested donation of £10 for tickets, but please donate at a level you can afford.

Our CEO Ruth visited @sofaproject in Bristol last month, to learn from their wealth of knowledge on all things reuse!
SOFA Project have been "Shuffling Old Furniture Around" (as per their name) since the 1980s, and are experts at repairing and restoring old furniture and white goods.
Their goal is to help local people dispose of unwanted household goods whilst reducing the number of perfectly re-usable items going to landfill - and the restored furniture can be purchased at very reasonable prices through their shops around Bristol, and even on eBay if you fancy!
They are an all-round amazing company, training people who are excluded from the workforce in their warehouse, and working with Bristol Council to support low income families by providing furniture and white goods to help kit out their homes.
Who else has some half-used tins of paint in their cupboard? Rather than adding to your own collection, you can buy these from SOFA Project at very low prices, and help to save perfectly good paint from going to waste.
Thank you to Nicci for showing us around, it was a fantastic meeting! Next time you need a new sofa or dining table why not check them out?

This Valentine`s Day why not send some love... or save the cost of a card and donate to charity instead! 💐
Why not take a look at @dontsendmeacard for some lovely Valentine`s Day cards? It`s easier than buying an overpriced card and our charity receives what you would have spent on a colourful piece of card.
And if you are looking for a gift, why not check out our gift cards? Did you know that you can gift your loved one membership to our Library of Things, a HOW TO Workshop or even a repair! They could have access to all of the fab items in our Library of Things, including this pink parasol.
Check out the link in our bio to find out more.


Are you moving out and looking for somewhere to take the home appliances that you no longer need? Have you heard about our HomeKit project?
We help provide small home essential appliances to those in need, through our partnerships with other local charities. You can support this project by donating clean, working items to our George Street shop.
We currently are in need of:
✨ toastie makers
✨ slow cookers
✨ heaters
✨ lamps
We also would love donations of compact vacuum cleaners, dvd players, digital radios, irons, small food blenders and more! You can check the wishlist on our website through the link in our bio to see what we can accept.
Donations should be good-quality, clean and in working order. You can drop items into the shop or request donations to be collected by our electric cargo bike for a fee of £2.
