The New Start Highland Training and Reuse Village
The New Start Highland Training and Reuse Village is the first of its kind in Scotland — a community hub designed to create employment and training opportunities while focusing on repair, reuse, and retail.
ILM Highland’s concession here brings you the same trusted, locally-run service you know from our Alness store — now available in Inverness, with free parking right on site.
It’s a welcoming space to meet friends, enjoy a coffee, and shop with purpose while supporting local communities near the Caledonian Canal.

What Else Can You Find at the Village?
The Training and Reuse Village is home to a growing community of like-minded organisations — all working together to repair, reuse, and support.
Inverness Tool Library
A community "library of things" — borrow tools and equipment instead of buying them. From DIY and gardening tools to household equipment, saving money and reducing waste.
The Yard Café
Open to the public seven days a week, The Yard is a welcoming café and training facility that helps people gain the skills they need to enter the hospitality industry.
The Bike Hut
A dedicated bike repair hub where staff and volunteers repair and restore bicycles, helping to keep more wheels on the road and out of landfill.
Unique Ness
Browse pre-loved retail outlets and discover unique finds. Clothing, textiles, furniture and more — all given a second life by our repair and reuse team.
Training Kitchen
Cooking classes and hospitality training for people who want to develop skills, build confidence, and access employment opportunities in the food and drink sector.
Repair Stations
Clothing, textiles, electricals, furniture — our skilled staff and volunteers bring items back to life at dedicated repair stations throughout the Village.
Why Shop With ILM Highland?
We are not just an appliance shop.
ILM Highland is a social enterprise. Every purchase helps fund essential services for older adults and people with disabilities across the Highlands.

People – Supporting local jobs

Why the Training and Reuse Village Matters
The Village is more than just a shopping destination. It delivers real environmental, social, and financial benefits for Highland communities.
Environmental Impact
By encouraging repair and reuse, the Training & Reuse Village increases goods diverted from landfill by 65% each year and runs entirely on sustainable energy — solar, biomass, and EV charging.
Social Impact
The Village creates over 40 additional new annual trainee and employment opportunities, helping lift families out of poverty and reducing social isolation across the Highlands.
Financial Impact
Affordable pre-loved appliances and goods help families save money on essentials, while free parking and free delivery uplift (when having an appliance delivered) make every visit as accessible as possible.
