- Tespit Edilen Sorun: A large number of timber was thrown away./A large rate of unemployment.
- Sunulan Çözüm: Save resources by rescuing and re-using waste timber that would otherwise be landfilled (or at very best downcycled into woodchip). Create sustainable jobs, as well as training and volunteering opportunities, for local people – especially those who might find it difficult to get into or back to employment.
- Sosyal Etki: With so much perfectly good timber ending up in landfill and so many enthusiastic people available (and keen to work for such a worthwhile cause) we believe that the UK could support around 40 to 50 such enterprises.
- Finansman: The NCWRP was set up by a mixture of grants and earned income, but from 2011 we haven’t received any grant funding for our core work. We’ve been completely financially self-supporting; generating all the income needed to meet our overheads through the modest fees we charge to support new members and to market our members’ collection service.
