What we offer
We offer what we believe is a full package to create an achievable and sustainable Social Enterprise making and selling environmentally friendly recycled products that are well designed and are fit for purpose.
Achievable
We believe that our package is achievable and that with our help, planning training and support, any group can create these and many more products.
Sustainable
We believe that our package is sustainable. Part of our service is to identify local sourcing of resources. We can also help you to promote your enterprise to your local community.
A big part of what we offer is also ongoing training and support – this means that our on-site training is also available on-line in how-to videos and also live video chats if needed.
Fit for purpose
To make an environmentally friendly recycled product, it really needs to be well made and long lasting and of course do the job it is bought to do.
Our products go through rigorous testing as part of our design and development and can withstand day to day use for extended periods of time.
Skills Training
Our initial on site training aims to give your group the skills, knowledge and confidence to make products for yourselves.
We run a flexible schedule to suit the needs of the group. Our sessions are relaxed and informal and we are happy to work with the pace of individuals.
Our training is backed up with training manuals and online videos – ideal to refresh your memory or to introduce new members of the group.

Sourcing materials
We will use a dual pronged approach to help you source local resources. Where possible we will locate ‘broken’ materials from an industrial source, such as reclaimed paper and rolls of Tetra Pak cartons. This will ensure you a regular supply of a standard quality.
We will also help you set up a campaign to collect resources from your local community using video, fliers and Facebook. This worthwhile activity will also help with raising awareness, sales and marketing.
