R:evolve Recycle

A unique intergenerational project managed by LEAP, a charity that work to enhance the lives of older people across Scotland through volunteering, learning, socialising and befriending. R:evolve’s goal is to reduce clothing consumption, cutdown carbon emissions and decrease landfill waste by offering a range of services for the whole community, 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 do this by operating swap shops, delivering workshops and facilitating community events and education. For more information please visit their website or social media:
