PASS IT ON WEEK
Pass it on Week
Pass it on Week is Scotland's annual celebration of re-use - whether it's swapping, donating, sharing or repairing to help make things last! Pass it on Week 2019 is now over (it was 9-17 March 2019). We had over 500 events registered around Scotland so thank you to everyone who got involved. The next Pass it on Week will be in March 2020. Date tbc. If anyone has any ideas for themes, please do get in touch.
In the meantime, re-use and repair are for life - not just for Pass it on Week, so the Pass it on Week resources will continue to be available on this site, so please do use them if they can help you in your work/campaigning. Our guide to decluttering your home may be of particular use and is relevant all year round.
