Repair Café

A very successful morning
Hungerford Repair Café at the Croft Hall
Hungerford
Repair Café opened its doors again on Saturday 19th November in the
Croft Hall to help visitors with their broken or worn items in an
enjoyable and social setting.
There were a variety of things to mend including a teddy bear that had lost an ear, a coffee grinder and a sewing machine.
Our goal is to promote the idea of repairing things at home and thereby to reduce the impact of waste on our planet.
Our volunteer fixers helped to repair over 80% of the items brought in,
keeping about 83 Kg of waste out of landfill or other recycling
facilities. One visitor commented “Wonderful, thank you so much, everyone is so helpful”.
The café served tea, coffee, cakes and biscuits to volunteers and visitors.
Our next Repair Café will be held on Saturday January 28th 2023 in the Croft Hall in Hungerford.
If you would like to help, please contact the organiser, Mike Gilbert at infogilbert9@gmail.com.
