Activity: Repair and Rewear

Vincent’s Portadown is fully embracing Repair Week, bringing the community together to celebrate sustainability and the power of repair! The store is encouraging customers to get involved and rethink how they view pre-loved items. In addition, the store is carefully setting aside donated items that need a little TLC, using them as real life examples to demonstrate just how much can be saved, restored and given a new lease of life. Whether it’s a torn garment, or a missing button, this initiative showcases the simple yet impactful ways we can extend the life of our belongings and reduce waste.
