AN upcycling shop set up to help the community has shared some before and after pictures of their creations they have made from disused and donated furniture.
Made Up is the latest venture by the people behind Teardrops Supporting the Community which helps anyone in need in St Helens.
It has been set up in the former Ena Shaw building on Duke Street alongside the successful Mellor & Black Enchanted Tea Gardens.
The upcycling shop employs three permanent staff and three extra volunteers as well as further volunteers who assist in sales with all the goods being mended, displayed, and sold on to aid the charity.
The ‘repair shop’ style set up also allows people to take in their items and get them upcycled with the tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts turning their creative skills to breathe new life into long-loved items.
Here are some before and after shots of their creations.
