  • RISC opens Global Refills shop

    30 September 2020

    Reading International Solidarity Centre is pleased to announce the opening of Global Refills—Reading town centre’s first zero waste shop. Global Refills comes as a response to our concern over the excess plastic being used during the Covid crisis, and its impact on the environment. The team at RISC has steadily been working to repurpose the back of the Global Café for this venture, using reclaimed wood wherever possible.
