♻️ It’s National Reuse Day. This is a perfect time to celebrate sustainability, creativity, and the joy of giving old things new life.
For older people, reuse can be more than eco-friendly, it can be therapeutic. From repurposing fabric into crafts to upcycling furniture with a carer’s help, these activities spark memories, encourage independence, and support wellbeing.
Here are a few reuse ideas that bring comfort and connection:
🧵 Turning old clothes into patchwork blankets
📚 Swapping books with neighbours or care teams
🪴 Using containers for indoor gardening
Small changes, big impact, for the planet and for the people we care for 💙
