BOARD

Policy Advocacy

We work closely with government departments to raise the profile of reuse and repair

Our vision is a Northern Ireland where
reuse and repair is integrated into everyday life

Through education, collaboration, and communication, we work across communities to normalise these activities, inspiring and empowering people to embrace a more circular lifestyle.
