Details

The project has two main aims:

• to encourage communities to reduce landfill by promoting skills in upcycling, re-using or recycling
• to empower communities to raise funds for improvements they want to see

This year they are expanding their pilot project across Glasgow to 10 more housing associations and co-operatives over the next 12 months.

This programme provides:

• 3 complimentary workshops from an award winning social enterprise specialising in providing skills, materials, expertise in upcycling and knowledge about how to engage with communities and encourage skills sharing
• Lintel Trust branded textile recycling bank

For every tonne of textiles, their recycling partner will donate £200 to Lintel Trust. All money raised will be ring-fenced for your specific community and accessed through Lintel Trust. Once you have raised £500, the money is available to your community in the form of a grant, allocated on a participatory budgeting basis.
