Our Speakers
REfUSE is a social enterprise run by staff and volunteers in Chester-le-Street. It functions as a community cafe, a food box scheme, a social supermarket, a catering business and an education project, as well as a food distributor for other charity partners. All the food that they collect and redistribute would otherwise have been sent to landfill by supermarkets and food retailers.
Nikki will be sharing some of the impacts that REfUSE has made through problem solving on a local and system level, and mixing enterprise with charity in an empowering way.
Circla provides a refillable service for independent sustainable beauty and personal care products.
Claudia will be sharing the social impact of sustainable beauty and sharing her experience with transitioning from a corporate career into a more independent, fulfilling career path.
