New Era for Lowestoft Community Project

Monday, 16 September 2024 06:00

A new chapter has begun for the community project - Re-Utilise - in Lowestoft

The group uses clean waste that would be going to landfill and makes it available to be transformed into works of art or creative play.

They have now moved to a new, bigger location at Tennyson Road - and the site of Lowestoft’s old hospital.

It was founded in 2020 by Director Carol Dean, as a community resource for health and well-being - and a key organisation for promoting environmental responsibility.

On Saturday (14th September) the new site was offically opened by Lowestoft Major - Councillor Nasima Begum.
