Warwick communities and raise awareness of the climate crisis and the benefits of sustainable
living.
Re-Useful Centre
Action 21’s Re-Useful Centre saves over 100 tonnes

bric-a-brac & kitchenware, tools, clothes,
shoes & accessories, books, CDs & DVDs, small electrical items

volunteers are key to Action 21’s continuing success. Volunteering is a
great way to meet new people and develop new skills. So, why not join the
team?
Sherbourne Recycling Centre, Coventry
Louise (General Manager) and Nikki (volunteer) had a tour around a new centre which is now processing all our kerbside recycling.
Sustainability values:
- Nothing is sent overseas. Once sorted, the materials are redistributed to UK companies to be processed for re-use.
- 100% of the energy used is renewable, coming from photovoltaic cells and the neighbouring Energy from Waste (EfW) plant.

Action 21 will be donating 100% of all the income raised at the Re-Useful Centre on Friday and Saturday 11/12 March to the Disasters Emergency Committee Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.
More than a million people have fled their homes to escape conflict in Ukraine. Leaving behind jobs, belongings and loved ones, they now face an uncertain future.
Please come and spend as much as possible at the Re-Useful Centre on Friday and Saturday as the entire income from everything purchased over the two days will be given to the appeal.
DEC charities are in Ukraine and neighbouring countries meeting the needs of all refugees and displaced people and we hope that our money will help them to provide essential hygiene supplies, blankets and emergency food.
