Ms Emma Kavanagh:

I think exactly that. There is an opportunity within the community-based and social enterprise infrastructure to potentially scale and embed some of those solutions around textile repair and reuse, and make it more readily available. We want to be able to provide consumers community-based, locally available and accessible solutions around textile repair. One of our members, Charity Retail Ireland, represents a significant portion of the charity retail market across the country. We have an amazing spread of different types of entities of charity shops that consumers and the public are familiar with and engage with. If we could be innovative in understanding potentially how more people could be encouraged to engage with charity retailers as a means of reuse and repair, there is a huge opportunity there for supporting that already quite large sector in being able to thrive even more.
