THE RE STORE
Who are we
THE RE STORE is a social enterprise run by the charity West End Impact.
We specialise in art and handmade crafts, working under the theme “Restoring Lives Through Creativity.”
Our Art & Mental Health Practitioner, Emma, works closely with individuals to help them explore their creativity and develop their own unique products. Through a mix of one-to-one mentoring and small group workshops, participants learn a variety of skills including printmaking, watercolours, collage, and other creative techniques. The goal is to support personal growth and wellbeing while helping people produce work they’re proud to sell.
We offer a platform to showcase and sell these items both in-store and online. Many of the products are made using surplus stock, recycled materials, or eco-friendly supplies, combining creativity with sustainability.
In addition to supporting individuals, we also exhibit and sell work from local artists who generously contribute to our mission by offering their creations through our store. This creates a vibrant, community-focused space where creativity and positive change come together.
What do we do
We support people who are struggling by offering placement opportunities to those who are unemployed, helping them take positive steps toward reaching their full potential.
Through hands-on retail experience and creative workshops, we help individuals build confidence, develop self-worth, and learn valuable skills. Participants have the chance to create unique arts and crafts, gain AQA qualifications in creative subjects, and receive training in customer service.
Every purchase at THE RE STORE helps fund the wider support services offered by our charity, West End Impact. When you shop with us, you're making a real difference in someone’s life.
