SOFA Project

Here is the full edit of our feature on @cropsnotshops & @sofaproject celebrating 100 Community RePaint members. It provides a great insight into how surplus paint can transform lives rather than going to waste. Thanks so much to all of our current member organisations for all their fantastic work in the community helping to end paint waste for good. And big thanks to all the individuals and organisations choosing to use the RePaint network for dropping off and picking up leftover paint. Here's to the next 100 members... #communityrepaint #dulux #100members #sustainability #communityproject #reuse #paint #bristol #glastonbury #shoplocal

Everyone deserves a second chance… even furniture! As you’re kitting out your new home at university, why buy brand new when Bristol’s second-hand gems are waiting for you? We popped into 5 of our favourite pre-loved furniture spots around the city to see what was on offer and snap our favourite finds. By buying secondhand, not only do you save money (and dodge the flat-pack stress), you’ll also pick up sturdy, well-made pieces that are built to last. Bonus: giving furniture a new home means less waste and a happier planet So before you hit “add to basket” on something cheap and flimsy, take a stroll to one of these shops, your future self (and your housemates) will thank you.

Part 2 of our video series to celebrate reaching 100 members in the Community RePaint Network. Here we showcase the incredible work of one of those members @sofaproject located in Bristol. By integrating paint reuse into their other waste saving activities they've helped thousands of members of the local community. As always, thanks to @duluxuk for the support. Part 3/the full edit coming soon.. #communityrepaint #dulux #100members #sustainability #communityproject #reuse #paint #bristol #shoplocal

Big up to @foodfitnessflora and @backtobristol for putting together this awesome project to brighten up parts of Bristol. So happy Community RePaint can support such great initiatives and bring colour to more people's lives in the most environmentally sustinable way. Beatiful murals from @aliciahaydenwildlife and @char_emma painted with 100% reclaimed paint from @sofaproject . What a great way to celebrate reaching 100 member organisations across the UK this year.

Bristol is the one…. Here are just ten reasons why. #lovebristol #visitbristol #bristollife

🌟 Supporting Our Community Together! 🌟 At Kutchenhaus Bristol & Bath, we're proud to support the incredible work of @sofaproject . We've already donated two of our own washing machines, and now we're inviting you to join us! If you're upgrading your kitchen, why not donate your old washing machine instead of disposing of it? Together, we can make a difference by giving these appliances a new lease on life and helping families across our community. #CommunitySupport #SOFAProject #modernhome #interiordesign #internationaldayofcharity #modernkitchen #kitchendesign #luxurykitchen #homeimprovement #kitchenmakeover Click on the link in our bio for free brochures, your free design appointment and all things Kutchenhaus Bristol & Bath Bristol 📍 - Clifton Down Shopping Centre, BS8 2NN ☎️ - 0117 213 0680 📬 - [email protected] Bath 📍 - 5 Saracen Street, Bath, BA1 5BR ☎️ - 01225 634025 📬 - [email protected]

Bristol, renowned for the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge that majestically spans the Avon Gorge, exemplifies the city's blend of historical significance and modern vibrancy. This architectural marvel, stands as a testament to Bristol’s innovative spirit and its enduring charm. With its vibrant arts scene, commitment to sustainability, and strong sense of community, Bristol is the perfect choice for one of our Truprint locations. The city’s creative energy and dedication to socio-environmental values resonate deeply with our mission. We’re excited to offer a free copy of our socio-ethical newspaper in the areas of Stokes Croft, Gloucester Road and Montpellier. This initiative ensures fact-driven journalism is accessible to everyone. We’d love to hear your thoughts on how creativity, sustainability, and journalism intersect in Bristol.

Today we were able to help out a local charity @hazelcare_limited and we donated & delivered 35 mattresses from a recent swap out job we did a couple of weeks ago, and a triple wardrobe to their new restbite accommodation centre in Bristol, other mattresses were also donated to @sofaproject and @british_heart_foundation last week and hopefully will help raise all important funds for all of these great charities 🙌🙌

Snow, begone ❄️ Alright - it was nice while it lasted - but if the snow and all-things-chilly could kindly move along now, we’d appreciate it 🧣 Something to cosy up with in the meantime: our weekly newsletter.
