The inaugural Reuse and Repair Week 2026 has officially concluded, marking an absolute milestone for sustainability across the island. This major event spanned all 11 councils in N. Ireland alongside the Republic of Ireland, bringing together communities with a shared vision of sustainability, waste reduction, and resourcefulness. An event of this scale would not have been possible without an incredible collective effort. NIRN sincerely thanks every single member, volunteer, and attendee who participated, shared their skills, and made this an unforgettable success. Special thanks go to our “Shared Island” partner, the Community Resource Network Ireland (CRNI), and RReuse for elevating our message across Europe. We also gratefully acknowledge the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA), whose funding via the Carrier Bag Levy made this week possible
