We’re delighted to share that Community RePaint has been awarded Reuse Initiative of the Year at the letsrecycle.com Awards for Excellence.

This national recognition celebrates the collective impact of our network, which now includes over 150 member organisations working to make reuse accessible in communities across the UK.

Together, we’ve saved more than 6.6 million litres of paint from going to waste—redistributing it to communities, and helping to make a real difference both environmentally and socially.

This award belongs to everyone who makes the Community RePaint network what it is:
our member organisations, paint reusers, and those who pass on their leftover paint. Your continued support is what drives this work forward and helps create lasting change for our planet and our communities.

We were proud to be recognised alongside a wide range of inspiring organisations and initiatives across the reuse and sustainability sector, all working towards a more circular economy.

We’d also like to say a huge thank you to Dulux for their ongoing support and sponsorship, which enables us to continue expanding our reach and impact.

Being recognised in this way is a fantastic milestone, but it also motivates us to keep building the reuse movement—ensuring even more paint is saved, shared and reused where it’s needed most.
