Exciting news announcement 📣🥳
Re_Store - the flagship project of the Oban Collective, has been shortlisted for the 2026 SURF Awards in the Community Led Regeneration category - one of just three finalists across Scotland!

The SURF Awards, delivered in partnership with the Scottish Government, celebrate projects making a real difference in their communities.

Being shortlisted in itself is a great achievement and is testament to the support of all our wonderful volunteers, friendly customers, generous folk who donate, dedicated staff teams and everyone in the local community who backs this project. Re_Store is a hub of community activity, providing affordable clothes, homewares, books, toys and food- as well as promoting sustainability and helping people to develop skills and friendships. Thank you all for your support.

The winners will be announced at a ceremony in Glasgow on 10 December- updates to follow 🤞
