Revolve Recycle
R:evolve’s goal is to reduce clothing consumption, cutdown carbon emissions and decrease landfill waste by offering a range of services based on the stories, skills and experiences of older people which prolong the life of clothes. We do this by bringing back some good old-fashioned ideas like swapping, sharing, mending and making. We have four main aspects of our project; Create - Volunteer led workshops teaching sewing, basic repairs, and upcycling, all using materials from our eco haberdasheries; Swap - Our swap shops give people the opportunity to access new-to-you clothing for free; Clothing Bank - Assisting people in the community who find themselves in difficulty and are in need of clothing; Community Partnerships - Delivering bespoke workshops, pop-up shops, fashion shows, and much more. There is something for everyone!
