We support many local initiatives, one of which is the invaluable work that ReTweed carry out in relation to supporting women, developing skills and bringing communities together.

ReTweed is an award-winning social enterprise based in Eyemouth who support women who are finding the road forward in their lives or careers a challenge, by providing free training sessions in textile skills.

ReTweed have just launched a project around Borders Bags which are donated to the local Food Banks and community initiatives by up cycling curtains and making them into bags.

It’s a wonderful opportunity to turn trash into treasure and assists in reduction of plastic bags in the Scottish Borders.

Each Border Bag is uniquely made by hand and are hard wearing and practical for every day needs.

ReTweed are currently looking to source funding to raise £2,000 to be able to make more bags and give to local communities, the more fabric they divert from landfill, and less plastic bags are used within the local community.

If you would like to help out please check out their crowdfunding page at : www.crowdfunder.co.uk/bordersbags-from-retweed---plastic-free-bags
