ST AUSTELL REVIVAL TOGETHER (START)

The Clothing Bank ,where people in clothing poverty can access preloved clothing giving them their dignity. The Swap Shop, where items can be swapped for items of similar value, both of these activities stop items going to land fill. Crafty Chat where people in social isolation can come together to learn new crafts and meet people, we aim to follow this up with up cycling clothing.
