This summer we launched the start of a unique events series across North London exploring Repair, Reuse and Upcycling! Hosted by the North London Waste Authority, These free events will enable local residents of North London to connect with local organisations and businesses who champion repair, reuse and upcycling and help us achieve our shared endeavours to live more sustainably.
This special events series promises to connect local residents with repair, reuse and upcycling leaders in their community members and encourage the use of their services, products and crafts which improve local waste reduction in a clever, fun and social space. The events kicked off in July in Waltham Forest, followed by Islington, Camden, Haringey, Barnet, Hackney and Enfield.
Groundwork London are working in partnership with North London Waste Authority to deliver these events across 7 boroughs in North London:- Waltham Forest, Haringey, Enfield, Barnet, Camden, Islington and Hackney. These will run between July and November 2022.
