ReStore the low-cost DIY store that builds sustainable community, directly tackles poverty locally.
By selling new and used building and home improvement materials ReStore helps local people to improve their homes at low cost. ReStore also provides skills and employability training for people of all ages and backgrounds and diverts more than 2,000 tons of reusable waste from landfill every year.
Building on the success six Habitat ReStores across Ireland, ReStore Lisnagelvin is expected to open later this year and will deliver real impact for local people and the wider community in Derry.
Jenny Williams, Habitat’s Chief Executive, said: “We are excited about the opportunity to bring Habitat ReStore to the North-West. Every year more than 100,000 local people access low-cost materials to improve their homes at ReStore and it is a hub for other local programmes,including House to Home which provides practical support for vulnerable people.”
“As we plan for the launch, pending planning permission, welook forward to working in partnership with companies, churches, community organisations and individuals to serve local people through ReStore.”
