A VOICE Ireland campaign, in partnership with Carlow County Council

Fabric of Change Carlow is working the County Council to develop local initiatives and solutions to texile waste, through prevention and reuse. We’re working with charity shops, local makers, retailers and community groups to make repairing, swapping and buying second-hand the easy option in Carlow.

Take part

Live in Carlow? Here's how to take part

  • Tell us how you shop, wear and get rid of clothes. Ten minutes, anonymous, and it directly shapes what we recommend to the council.
  • Come to an event (see coming up section)
  • Help run something. We’re helping design pilots to  boost local circular fashion, but we need YOU to make it a reality, with lasting impact.
  • You run a business that repairs, resells, rents or remakes? We want to showcase your work! Get in touch
  • Circular fashion isn’t your main activity, but you’d like to support? Reach out! We’ll connect you?
  • You're a school, youth group, library or community group. Let’s innovate together!

Bring it to your town

Fabric of Change is VOICE Ireland's programme on sustainable and circular fashion.

If you're a local authority wishing to follow in Carlow’s footsteps, a business or a group that wants to support local circularity, we'd lovee to help!
