Transition Newcastle started in 2008. Since then we have been involved in a range of activities. At the moment our main activity is upcycling (through Upcycle Newcastle).

Upcycle Newcastle is dedicated to the circular economy and reducing textile waste by promoting creative reuse and repair. Instead of viewing waste as something to be discarded, we see it as an opportunity for a new beginning. Concerned about our environment and the waste generated by society, we try to respond with positive, creative solutions, inspiring and teaching others to transform discarded textiles and materials into exciting new and useful upcycled items.
