A Community Interest Company
We are a volunteer-led community interest company, with a zero-waste ethos, offering various methods to
re-use resources.
Our workshops, community groups and classes, give people the opportunity to use a variety of tools, such as sewing machines, table saws, and art equipment to upcycle a variety of waste materials. These opportunities help to upskill members, create communities of like-minded people, combat isolation and help support each other through life's journeys.
We also operate a weekly Repair Café and have a Tool Library which is accessible to all via a small subscription fee. You can also fill up your detergent bottles with SESI detergents and cleaning aids in our Refill Station, and drop off your printing ink cartridges for recycling.
We are a sustainable, non-profit making community hub for recycling, upskilling and education; offering a safe, creative environment that nurtures people and their communities.
We campaign to create empowerment and knowledge, raising awareness of sustainable living in an environment that shares skills, inspiring and motivating all those who participate.
A little bit about Upcycle Kernow...
Combining artistic practices with traditional skills, we create fun, safe environments to help you explore and develop your own sustainable journey. From Upcycling Workshops, Repair Cafes, Community Swishes, Resources Outlet and recycling points, our community has created a local circular economy that supports and benefits all aspects of an inspiring, sustainable lifestyle.
In our Upcycling Workshops, you can take part in a variety of creative projects from using power tools with reclaimed timber, or sewing machines to create textile art and transform clothes, or soldering for glass sculpture and jewellery making. These are the ideal place to use noise equipment, get wild with creativity, or to be calm, quiet and concentrate, whilst turning trash into treasure.
