About usWaist Not Want Not is a community project based within Greenhills, East Kilbride that offers community members the opportunity to swap clothing items for other items that they may have better use off, in turn reducing fast fashion waste. As well as the Swap Shop service our shop is open to the general public as a charity shop offering items at a lower cost which will help in the cost-of-living crisis. We are lucky enough to run a Community Corner next to our shop, and run various classes and workshops such as sewing and haberdashery, mental health Support Group, a coffee and Chat group that targets members of the community that feel isolated, various health groups, women’s wellbeing group and many more.
Our WishDue to the cost-of-living crisis, we are sadly seeing an increase in our running costs which may mean that we need to look at what we are offering in the community, we would like an organisation or business that would sponsor our Community Corner running costs for a period of 12 months. This would ensure that we are still able to run our project as we are now, and continue to help the community access our groups, workshops and services.
