Upcycle Newcastle, a project of Transition Newcastle, focuses on the circular economy and saving waste from landfill through creative re-use and repair. Rather than seeing waste as an end product to be disposed of, we prefer to see it as a new beginning.

We offer workshops, classes, mend it or make it days, DIY kits, clothes swaps, and maker space. Members can use the equipment (e.g., sewing machines, overlockers) and facilities in our space for $3/hour.
