Sustainability

Under the REVS initiative, we have opened a contemporary craft gallery in Swansea to sell some of the high quality goods produced in ResaRec and the Dragon Arts and Learning project.

All the craft works on offer are made from recycled materials; a unique enterprise that has brought attention from the local media and the BBC. It’s not only a great place for guilt-free ethical shopping, and finding some original birthday and Christmas presents, it’s also an Open College Network accredited retail training scheme for volunteers.

Recycling

Res-a-Rec is the Cyrenians’ community furniture scheme, located in Hafod Yard, Swansea. The project brings direct, immediate and measurable benefits to people overcoming homelessness, to the environment and to the wider community: The project has won a Green Dragon level 2 award for its contribution to the environment, and is featured on the SWANSEA GREEN MAP. Res-a-Rec stands for Resettlement and Recycling. Household items (including fridges, freezers and home electricals) are collected from members of the public, sorted and put on display in a warehouse ‘showroom’. Chosen items are then delivered to their new owners on daily van runs.
