ReStore, Habitat’s social enterprise,held their official opening event on Friday 22nd April, bringing together staff, volunteers and supporters. 

ReStore the low-cost DIY store that builds sustainable community, directly tackles poverty here in Ireland. By selling donated new and used building supplies and home improvement materials ReStore enables local people to improve their homes at low cost.

Building on the success of four Habitat ReStores in Northern Ireland, ReStore Drogheda will deliver real impact for local people and the wider community in Louth. Habitat also plans to scale across Ireland, to support other communities where there is need, where they can secure suitable premises and enough support to make it possible.

ReStore is a unique workplace which engages people of all ages and backgrounds in serving the wider community and I would encourage local people to get involved in volunteering.”
