Hi guys!

Sorry for the radio silence, we have been working on Re-Vive to make it even bigger and better❤️

This year we will be re-vamping and re-launching Re-Vive, changing and adapting the business to focus more on waste as a whole whilst empowering beneficiaries and tackling social isolation in Leeds.

We have a Re-Vive meeting today at 6pm in group booth 8.07 in Eddy B.

If you are interested in finding out more about the new and improved Re-Vive and if you want to get involved please do pop along tonight!☺️
