Re-Imagine Resource Centre

Re-Imagine Resource Centre, Community Kitchen and Solidarity Larder. We collect reusable materials. These can then be reused by our members.

Re-Imagine collects materials from which have been donated by businesses. Membership is available to community groups and individuals subject to our terms and conditions. This has lots of benefits such as:

Reducing the amount of waste that goes to landfill
Giving people a chance to use these resources creatively
Reducing the amount of new materials that are used which helps save the world's resou

CALLING ALL COMMUNITY GROUPS AND CHARITIES!!! πŸ’šπŸ’šπŸ’š

The funding and power imbalances within the charity sector leave quality smaller charities and community groups with a proven track record of impact, without consistent access to funding that would enable them to turbo-charge their impact, and without the recognition of their impact which would allow their work to be better supported and recognised. At Re-imagine we feel this everyday but this can only be done by addressing the power and funding prevalent imbalances in the sector.

We are lucky enough to work with fantastic charities, organisations and community groups and learn about the impressive impact they have on their communities. We know local charities are in a difficult position, and grassroots charities are increasingly picking up where other services fail, but no funding or support is attached to this assumption.

Grassroots organisations are perfectly placed to shape much needed change, due to their knowledge of local communities, and crucially their insights into what needs to change and how change can be carried out. There’s so many dedicated and community minded people in Cambridgeshire who everyday make a huge difference in the lives of the people they reach. ❀️

We want to play our part in supporting our members and want to help any local groups or charities as much as we can - so we invite those folks to β€œPAY WHAT YOU CAN DAY” on Wednesday September 18th 2024. 10am - 2pm. It’s a great opportunity to stock up on fabric, paper, paints, stickers. There is even massive cord carpets, large wooden dividing walls, mannequins and the HUGE wallpaper rolls up for offers.

Your group, charity or organisation must be a member of Re-imagine.

Comment below your interest or message to register to attend. πŸ˜β™»οΈπŸ˜

Nearly 1,000 charites have closed their doors in 2024 and Grassroots organisations have decreased by 16% this year. Let’s see what we can do to make sure that doesn’t happen in our local area. πŸ’šπŸ’šπŸ’š
