Be Part of a Growing Reuse Ecosystem
RE(YOU)S is a community-powered ecosystem that keeps usable items in circulation, supports skill-sharing, and creates access through reuse.
As the ecosystem grows, it relies on appropriate infrastructure to operate well, particularly storage that allows items to be managed responsibly and made available with choice.
This page is for individuals and organisations who want to contribute to a growing ecosystem, without needing to be directly involved day to day.
What this is
This is an opportunity to contribute to the infrastructure that supports the RE(YOU)S ecosystem.
It isn’t a membership.
It isn’t a donation.
It doesn’t require time, volunteering, or active participation.
It is a practical way to be part of something that is already in motion.
How the ecosystem works in practice
Storage is an active part of how the RE(YOU)S ecosystem operates.
It is used by:
-
community members accessing reused items
-
local projects and partners redistributing resources
-
repair, reuse, and skill-sharing activities
-
businesses and organisations redirecting usable items
Items move through storage rather than sitting in it.
They are:
-
received and checked
-
prepared for safe use, including PAT testing where required
-
sorted and grouped by type or function
-
made available for people and projects to access directly
Access is organised through a token system.
