Ryedale Remakes in Malton offers an upcycling service and runs workshops for community groups.
Two retired police officers have swapped fighting crime for fighting waste by giving unwanted items a new lease of life.
They also run workshops for people with vision problems, the elderly and those struggling with their mental health, which Ms Wintringham said was "very rewarding". Workshop coordinator Mr Tarn said: "I saw an advert on Facebook and it fit with the things I like doing like woodworking and crafts, so it was ideal really."
A few adaptations and a little touch of TLC and these items then be sold in the Ryedale Remakes Shop. "I am absolutely enjoying picking up the knitting needles again and being able to be creative and just being able to chat to the old folk, it’s very rewarding.”
