To our amazing FRP community – today is Earth Day and feels like the perfect day to share some exciting news.
We’re taking part in Big Give’s Earth Rise campaign, and so every donation made between midday 22nd April and midday 29th April will be doubled – at absolutely no extra cost to you! And if you pay tax, we can claim gift aid too.
£1 donated becomes £2.50.
£20 donated becomes £45.
Simple as that!
What are we campaigning for?
At FRP, our mission is to reduce waste and protect the environment through reuse, reclaim and repair. We rescue unwanted paint – which becomes toxic waste when thrown away – and give it a new life through quality checks, mixing and refreshing, turning it into affordable, eco-friendly options for everyone. We also reclaim textiles and timber, working towards a more sustainable and affordable future for all.
Of the 320 million litres of paint sold in the UK each year an estimated 50 million litres – enough to fill 20 Olympic-sized swimming pools – goes to waste. Reclaimed paint is both an environmentally friendly and cost effective way to decorate and truly has the ability to transform your space.
We reclaim used scaffolding boards, as well as other wood from the building industry. Old boards become planters in greening projects and tables and shelving in peoples’ homes and businesses. Used floorboards are made into biodiversity boxes, providing much needed space for animals to nest.
One of the biggest negative environmental impacts comes from fabrics. FRP is reclaiming fabric as part of our mission is to protect the environment and divert surplus material away from landfill and use it to inspire social change.
We are always excited to hear from anyone interested in volunteering or working with our organisation. We are also actively seeking out new corporate partnerships to help us further our charitable aims for the benefit of the environment and local community.
