Re-Imagine Resource Centre

Re-Imagine Resource Centre, Community Kitchen and Solidarity Larder. We collect reusable materials. These can then be reused by our members.

Re-Imagine collects materials from which have been donated by businesses. Membership is available to community groups and individuals subject to our terms and conditions. This has lots of benefits such as:

Reducing the amount of waste that goes to landfill
Giving people a chance to use these resources creatively
Reducing the amount of new materials that are used which helps save the world's resou

rces. Saving people money on creative and DIY materials
Encouraging creative play and skills
Giving people access to unusual and exciting items and materials not found in shops or online

It is for me? Yes, whether you are part of an organisation or an individual. Re-Imagine is for everyone. Come and see for yourself. You'll be amazed at what we have and you'll amaze yourself with what you can do with it. To use Re-Imagine Resource Centre you will need to become a member. This is a very simple process. On your first visit we will ask you to complete the membership form. If you like you can download and print the form from our website and bring it with you. While you are choosing your materials we will process your membership and give you your membership card before you leave. You will need to bring your card with you whenever you come back to use the Resource Centre. The Re-Imagine Resource Centre is open to everyone. So whether you are a teacher, parent, student, child minder, youth leader, or just somebody with a creative project in mind, the Re-Imagine Resource Centre is for you. Materials can be bought by the bag or trolley load.

🌒☀️ TODAY’S THE DAY — ECLIPSE DAY! ☀️🌒

WOW! The last two days have been slightly crazy! We’ve worked our way through nearly 1,000 messages, emails and texts yesterday alone and today's the day for collecting the Solar Eclipse Glasses and Phone Filters. Thank you SO much for all your purchases and support. 💚😊💚

A really important message for today please:

⚠️ Please DO NOT come to the Centre for Solar Eclipse Glasses or Phone Filters unless you already have a order (that has been paid for) waiting for collection!!! We currently have no additional stock available for walk-ins!!!

And please, don’t all arrive at 10am! Your orders are safely waiting for you and can be collected anytime between 10am and 2pm today. Please be patient today while we work through the lists - rudeness is never tolerated at the centre.

🚗 IMPORTANT – entering the Re-imagine car park:
You MUST drive all the way around the recycling centre site to reach us. Please DO NOT cut across from the entrance into our car park. This is really important for everyone's safety and the safe operation of the site.

♻️ RE-IMAGINE IS ALSO OPEN AS NORMAL TODAY – 10AM–2PM!

So while all the eclipse excitement is happening, our Scrapstore is still packed with all our Eco Fabulouso stock and doing what we do every week — rescuing resources, reducing waste and putting people and planet at the heart of everything.

Thank you again for the absolutely phenomenal response. We hope everyone has a fantastic evening watching something rather special happen in the skies above us. 🌒

Please remember to view the eclipse safely, follow the instructions on your glasses/filters and NEVER look directly at the Sun without the correct protection.

Happy Eclipse Day everyone! ☀️🌒💚

☀️📱 Planning to photograph tomorrow’s solar eclipse on your phone? READ THIS FIRST! 🌒

We’ve had lots of interest in our Solar Eclipse Glasses at Re-imagine — and now we also have SOLAR FILTERS FOR YOUR PHONE! 📱☀️

It’s really important not to simply point your phone camera directly at the Sun to take photographs. Just as your eyes need proper protection, your phone camera needs a solar filter too. The intense sunlight entering the lens can potentially damage the camera sensor and other components.

So if you’re hoping to capture tomorrow evening’s incredible eclipse, please do it safely.

**Solar Eclipse Glasses very, very low stock! **
NEW! Solar filters for phone cameras available to order - just message to receive a payment link for these phone camera filters only.

Pop into Re-imagine tomorrow and get eclipse-ready!

🌒 Protect your eyes.
📱 Protect your phone.
✨ Then enjoy one of the most spectacular sights in our skies!

Open Wednesday 10am–2pm 💚♻️

🌒☀️ SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL IS HAPPENING THIS WEDNESDAY! ☀️🌒

On Wednesday 12th August, look to the skies for one of nature’s most incredible spectacles — a solar eclipse!

Here in Cambridgeshire, the Moon will pass across the Sun, covering around 92% of it at the eclipse’s peak. It begins at around 6.15pm, reaching its maximum at approximately 7.11pm — a pretty extraordinary summer evening to remember!

And if you're planning to watch it, Re-imagine has SOLAR ECLIPSE GLASSES AND PHONE FILTERS FOR SALE! 😎☀️

Please remember: never look directly at the Sun without proper solar viewing protection during an eclipse.

Pop into Re-imagine on Wednesday and pick up your glasses ready for the big event later that evening.

♻️ RE-IMAGINE OPEN WEDNESDAY
⏰ 10am–2pm
