The Social Benefits
|
|
Tex with Benefits helps to create sustainable communities by recycling, reusing and re-purposing used textiles. We create jobs for local people by making Eco Products from recycled textiles, teaching new skills - and we use the profits to support our local communities including: Youth Enterprise - we support pop up spaces that give essential work experience. Share Fairs and markets with no money, bringing communities together with no barriers to inclusion Workshops making Carnival costumes - we help with costumes, flags and bunting and much much more! We collect all the used textiles and clothing from your home, diverting them from landfill. If we can’t create new Eco Products from the textiles we sort them and pass them on to local charities that provide no cost clothing to those in need.

We live in fantastic communities but sometimes they just need a little help. Our work enables great things to happen and over the years we have helped create, and work, on some brilliant community projects. We have found that poverty is very often a barrier to inclusion so we try to create events that involve no cost to participate.
We can be found all across Cornwall and although we are based in Bodmin, we do get around the South West. Using beautiful designs, fabulous textiles and such talented people we can now bring to you unique products that help build sustainable communities and gives back a little hope for all involved. Our Eco Products come with massive Social Benefits. |
