The Remakery is a new co-operative workshop space for making things from materials that were destined for landfill.

How it works – they provide affordable workspace and access to materials. Remakers – local residents, makers, artists and businesses – then use them to create products, enterprises and opportunities and develop new skills. Any profit is used to subsidise the Remakery social programmes and help those at a disadvantage in our community.
The Remakery’s aims are to help divert valuable waste materials away from landfill and to support our local community to increase their skills, confidence and employment opportunities. We are a Society for the Benefit of the Community, a form of non-profit co-operative.

If you wish to get more involved you can get in touch by emailing people@remakery.org
