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!  The next Pass it on Week will be held from 7-15 March 2020 and the theme will be "The Great Toy Rescue"
In 2019 we had over 500 events registered around Scotland so thank you to everyone who got involved.  Let's see if we can beat that in 2020.  We will shortly be updating our ideas guide and resources to help you get involved in Pass it on Week 2020.
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.
