Description: Turning a former bus-dept into a community recycling and education centre. The initiative took a fresh look at the charity shop trying to shed the dowdy image and emphasis the reuse and recycling culture they promote. Education tales place in the form of school and community reuse and fix-it sessions and former inmates receive trade training in furniture restoration and repurposing techniques.

Winner of the National Charities Association Design Award 2005
