Celebrating the 2025 Reuse Network Award winners

We’re delighted to celebrate another inspiring year for the reuse sector with the return of the Reuse Network Awards 2025. These awards recognise the incredible organisations making a real difference for people and the planet, and we’re proud to spotlight their achievements.

This year, our long-standing Strategic Partner, Viridor, sponsored the awards, and we celebrated achievements across four regions: Scotland, Wales, the North of England, and the South of England. In each region, one outstanding reuse charity was named Reuse Organisation of the Year, recognising social and environmental impact throughout 2024/25.

The Reuse Organisation of the Year award is about more than recognition. It’s a chance to celebrate the dedication of teams on the ground, highlight the positive impact of reuse in local communities, and raise the profile of organisations within the wider reuse movement.

The winners were announced at our Regional Roadshows, which took place this autumn. Below, we’re proud to introduce this year’s regional winners:
