Our Funders
We are grateful to all of our funders, without whom Granton Goes Greener would not be possible.
Our Impact & Achievements
Since the project began we have passed on over 20 tonnes of clothing to be re-loved or re-used
– that’s the weight of 13 cars!!!
during August 2026
160KG
23.08*
tonnes
during August 2026
45KG
3.55
tonnes
During August: we had 16 first time visitors and 102 returning visitors
* How we calculate these figures
Although Share n Wear items are free, we do have a “checkout”. Every batch of clothes taken away to be re-loved is weighed and we tot up the figures at the end of the month.
We try wherever possible to re-home and recycle all of our donated items. However , some items are not suitable for recycling – damaged, soiled etc . We estimate that around 90% of our items are saved from landfill by finding new homes for them to be re-loved. The remaining small amounts are taken by Nathan’s Wastesavers for recycling.
