We’re delighted to be nominated for the Reuse Organisation of the Year award and voting has now begun, so please vote for us!
Our nomination is from the Reuse Network, the UK’s only membership body dedicated to charitable and voluntary reuse organisations like us who are helping reduce poverty, tackle waste and build brighter futures for all.
We’re one of just six organisations shortlisted for this prestigious award. To support us, all you have to do is visit: https://reuse-network.org.uk/time-to-vote-2023/ and select Emmaus Village Carlton.
Voting will close on Wednesday 30th August and the winner will be announced at an awards ceremony during the Reuse Network’s Gala Dinner on Tuesday 10th October.
Here at Emmaus Village Carlton, we pride ourselves on our commitment to reusing and recycling as much as possible, reselling tonnes of donated items and recycling large quantities of metal and wood.
Our greatest success story has been in textiles and books; in the last year (July 22 to June 23) we sent over 160 tonnes of textiles and books to recycling or resell providers. This is a significant increase on previous years which has been made possible thanks to our staff, companions and volunteers all buying into the ethos behind it.
Not only does this produce much-needed revenue for our charity, to help us provide brighter futures for people affected by homelessness, but it’s ethically important to protect our environment and reduce our carbon footprint.
The Reuse Organisation of the Year award will go to the reuse charity/social enterprise which has made enormous strides in the past year, so please cast your vote to enable us to be recognised for our sustainable efforts!
Voting will close on Wednesday 30th August and there is only one vote allowed per person. Thank you in advance!
