Caritas Care's create powerful recycled artwork for Eco Town Gallery, Leyland

The group's stunning recycled artwork highlights the impact of waste on the environment and encourages others to rethink their rubbish.

The creative partnership began after VIP staff explored the recent changes to local recycling rules, including the introduction of food waste bins and saw an opportunity to help the people they support to learn more about recycling and sustainability. This led them to Eco Town, an educational recycling centre in Leyland, where they arranged a small group visit.

During the initial tour, Eco Town invited VIP to help create a new gallery space using artwork made entirely from recycled materials. The objective was to help young people and visitors better understand the long-term effects of rubbish on the planet.
