Materials are collected and stored at our colourful warehouse for members to access for creative reuse. ReCreate is a successful social enterprise whose core goals are to foster creativity, promote social inclusion and make a positive environmental impact. We do this by collecting unused an unwanted materials form industry and distributing them to our members as affordable art supplies. We also de
sign and deliver arts educational programmes that are delivered across all sectors of society and provide valuable work experience and employment opportunities to adults with additional needs or who are distant from the labour market. Once becoming a member groups have unlimited access to the materials made available to them, allowing these groups to flourish without having to worry about budget restrictions. Our workshop programmes help both adults and children understand the previous life the materials may have had and also the endless possibilities that they can be used for in the future, by promoting a concept that we call Creative Reuse. By partnering with Irish suppliers who have materials they no longer need, we ensure they do not end up in landfill. We collect these materials and bring them back to our warehouse where instead they become part of a circular economy and provide a cost-effective creative solution for our members. Our members are made up of schools, early years and community groups. We estimate that each group can save up to €1,000 on their creative budget each year with a ReCreate membership. A nominal annual membership fee allows groups unlimited access to our materials, allowing them to flourish and take part in projects and events that may not have been previously possible due to budget restrictions.
