Volunteer. Are you passionate about making a positive impact in your community? Join us, volunteer your time and talents, as we focus on the circular economy, while saving textile waste from landfill through creative re-use and repair. We welcome volunteers to assist with events, sort donations, prepare workshop materials, make upcycled products, help with admin, promote and maintain our creative space. Our organisation would not exist without the valued support of our volunteer team!

Attend a workshop. Check out Upcycle Newcastle's upcoming workshops and classes.

Equipment use for personal projects. Need help with alterations, mending, or following a pattern? Maybe assistance with inserting a zip, changing an op shop find, sprucing up a pair of jeans, learning to darn. Perhaps you just want to hone your sewing skills in a supportive and creative environment. Participants can use our sewing machines (including semi-industrials), overlockers, cutting tables, rotary cutters etc. (See our Workshops and Classes for more details.)

Be part of the Circular Economy. Support our makers by buying upcycled products or kits to make your own.
