The votes are officially in. After an incredible turnout and an inspiring week of community action, we are thrilled to announce the winner of the RRWNI26 Favourite Activity Poll:
Via Wings: “Threads of Change: most impactful yet”. You are the reason reuse and repair are becoming the new normal in Northern Ireland. Let’s keep this momentum going!
A massive congratulations to the entire Via Wings team. They will be taking home the £500 prize to help fund and expand their fantastic community work.
Their hands-on workshops struck a major chord this year, teaching attendees the art of simple clothing repairs and alterations. By showing people how a few small stitches can extend the life of a garment, Via Wings proved that keeping textiles out of landfills starts with a little bit of know-how and a lot of heart.
Whittling down the entries to just three finalists was no easy task for our judges. While Via Wings took the top spot, we want to give a massive shoutout to our two incredible runners-up, who are doing game-changing work across Northern Ireland:
Every single organisation involved in Reuse & Repair Week 2026 helped make this year such a success!
