Habitat for Humanity Ireland brings Habitat ReStore to Glasnevin, Dublin 11
ReStore, Habitat’s social enterprise, held their official opening event on Thursday 23rd October, bringing together staff, volunteers and supporters to celebrate.
ReStore the low-cost DIY store that builds sustainable community, directly tackles poverty here in Ireland. By selling donated new and used building supplies and home improvement materials ReStore enables local people to improve their homes at low cost. ReStore provides skills and employability training for people of all ages and backgrounds and diverts tons of reusable waste from landfill.
The shop and donation centre will be open 9.30am-5pm, Monday–Saturday at Unit 5 Slaney Road, Glasnevin, Dublin, D11 T266.
Lord Mayor of Dublin, Councillor Ray McAdam, visited the store on launch day saying, “It was wonderful to see the newest Habitat ReStore open in Glasnevin. The social enterprise will bring some much-needed support for local people, providing low-cost DIY and home improvement materials, as well as training and volunteering support for the wider community.”
Building on the success of seven Habitat ReStores across Ireland, ReStore Glasnevin will deliver real impact for local people, communities and the planet.
Jenny Williams, Habitat’s Chief Executive, said: “Every year, the seven ReStores across Ireland are making a difference for local people, communities and the planet. It has long been part of our strategy to launch ReStore in Dublin, we are delighted to open Habitat ReStore in Glasnevin and thankful for the welcome we have received.”
“ReStore is a unique workplace which brings together people of all ages and backgrounds, where everyone has something to give and something to gain so I would encourage local people to get involved in volunteering.”
“Everything we sell is donated so support from companies, organisations and individuals is critical to the success of ReStore – you can see instore that we have a broad range of DIY and home improvement materials at low cost.”
