DON’T WANT THEM? DON’T NEED THEM? RE-GIFT THEM
REGIFTING WEEKEND 10th & 11th JANUARY 2026
If we want to move to a more circular economy we need to start sharing, reusing, repairing, and recycling things we already have and extending the life of items as long as possible. We all agree that there is a growing emphasis on sustainability and environmental consciousness. Regifting aligns with the principles of reducing waste and minimising our carbon footprint, as it extends the life of an item that might otherwise go unused or discarded. With the global awareness of environmental challenges,
many people now view regifting as a responsible and eco-friendly practice. On top of that, Charity shops will gain much needed income from our regifting. Westport Eco Congregation is hosting a REGIFTING Sunday – gifts can be left In the back of St Marys Church beside the statue of St. Patrick after the masses on Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th. Eco Congregation also encourages worshipers to drop their unwanted gifts into charity shops themselves!
