National Reuse Day

Freegle created national day to celebrate and promote Reuse

'2023' The inaugural national day was held on 20th October 2023. The intention is to make this an annual event, the plan being to hold NRD on the third Friday of October each year. The advantage of this will be that it will always be held on a Friday and it will always sit next to National Repair Day which is held on the third Saturday of October.
