UpShop

UpShop UpShop is a volunteer group taking unfinished projects, craft and haberdashery, recycles them and saves them from landfill. Supported by SEE Change.

We take donations, prepare them for sale, and guide people to learn valuable skills and repurposing.

What a fun thing to do on a lovely winters afternoon. We sold 40 bags of fabric to some very happy buyers and emptied 10plus bins

-One more sleep.
Until the ‘wear it purple day ‘at the Hub and
I’ll be wearing purple!
And I’m excited to be having a destash of fabric. A wonderful team of volunteers are going to be very busy so please come and buy a bag or two or three so they don’t have to put it back in storage
But there’s more fun and games. Food, sweets clothing and puzzle swaps. A real joy for all.
See you there !
