The Re Store
THE RE STORE is a social enterprise working under the management of the charity West End Impact. THE RE STORE specialises in hand-made crafts and art with an ethos of sustainability. Many of the items are therefore made from re-cycled or eco-friendly materials. We believe in helping people who are struggling to reach their full potential and so we want to give an opportunity to help rebuild their lives through creativity.
West End Impact’s INNOVATE art group helps people in recovery, suffering from poor mental health, or those who have lost confidence due to long term joblessness and THE RE STORE gives an opportunity for people to show case and sell their work. It also gives local artists a platform and support the charity at the same time. We have volunteer opportunities in retail, with full mentoring support and training, again helping people into employment.
