Upcycling on the rise

There are now a number of local upcycling sites on Facebook. The popularity of these has increased during the lockdown when charity shops had to close their doors to accepting donations.

They can be a great source for finding those elusive items, like a small number of slabs or hardly used tins of paint.

If you’ve had a garage clear out, or you’re looking for something unusual, why not have a browse at some of these.

If we’ve missed any please let us know - these are the ones we could find locally.
