Canons H0use
community upcycling project
Did you ever imagine doing up a heritage building with upcycled soft furnishing?
From 2 Nov to 10 Dec 2022, twice weekly, the wheel, partners and volunteers helped furnish the grade II listed heritage building, Canons House!
Not only did we avoid GHG emissions from avoided waste but nearly 70% of respondents strongly agreed that the project had a positive impact on social and mental well-being
