Please Welcome Andrea to the team at Recreate Cardiff!

“Hi, I'm Andrea the new Resource Officer here at Recreate.

The one who organises collections, deliveries, getting stock in and out for ya!

I have always been a creative, experimenting in many different mediums - I just enjoy play and creating whether it's 'good' or not it's so good for the soul. My favourite thing to paint is eyes and favourite thing to sculpt with is willow. In my spare time I love exploring with my beautiful dog Ember who means the world to me. I also perform in cabaret shows and am proudly q***r.

Dw i'n dysgu Cymraeg!

I think community and play is so so important for kids and adults and I'm really excited to be a part of Recreate and what we have planned for the future. Come and say hey!”

We’re so excited for Andrea to use her skills and experience to grow our collection of the weird and wonderful stock at Recreate!

At Re-Create we LOVE saving items from landfill!

Caitlin & Andrea spotted some golden items in the neighbours bins and jumped in to save them!

If you’re a business in South Wales and need somewhere to send your waste for FREE and save it from landfill - we’d love to hear from you!
