Launching Merton's community based textiles waste reduction hub

That's right! We will be launching Merton's community textiles waste reduction hub at Canons House in Mitcham on 20 May 2023.  Join us for the launch event!  We would absolutely love to hear ideas from the community on how to make this a welcoming space where we all get together and reduce textile waste by innovatively and creatively reusing, repairing, repurposing and upcycling textiles.
