Remake Scotland
Amulree Welch
Remake Scotland are on a mission to help people in Perthshire reduce the amount they waste and live more sustainably, promoting the reuse of materials for the benefit of the community through initiatives including a tool library, second-hand store and volunteer programmes.
Sustainable living often comes with a price tag that makes it unachievable for low-income households. Remake aims to ensure that their services are available to everyone. They currently run a number of projects including:
- A Reuse Hub – helping to divert 40,000kg from landfill each year for reuse within the community
- A Community Tool Library – giving people the chance to borrow used equipment, rather than buying new, and run workshops
- An Intergenerational Volunteer Programme and Employability Programme – helping disadvantaged young people to gain work experience
As the UK transitions to net zero, there will be a resurgence in the demand for repairs. By upskilling the community, Remake is also paving the way for future jobs within an environmentally-focused economy.

Remake was founded in 2011 to help our community respond to the issue of waste and to address throw away culture at a local level. Our vision is to inspire second-hand to become first choice and for sustainable living to become embedded within our community.
