WHAT WE DO
Some of our Key Projects
An important part of managing our collective resources responsibly is the adage: Reduce, Reuse, Refill, Repair & Repurpose, Recycle.
The Buxton Library of Things provides affordable access to over 100 useful resources and things that you don’t need to own.
Plastic pollution is evident all around us, blighting our lanes, paths and hedgerows, ending up in waterways and contributing to climate change.
Energy is fundamental to our modern way of life. But energy – specifically fossil fuels – is the main driver of climate change.

We held 9 Repair Cafes in 2024, the 10th one would have been in November but due to snow we had to cancel. In those 9 sessions a total of 285 items were dealt with. Of these 146 (51%) were repaired and 47 (17%) improved or advice about repair given. 40 items (14%) were taken away, e.g. because a part was required, and only 52 items (18%) - mostly electrical - could not be repaired. So approximately 200 items were prevented from going to landfill, which equates to a saving of about 6 tonnes of CO2![]()
- interestingly the same number of items as 10 sessions in 2023, so our impact is growing. ![]()
Our first Repair Cafe of 2025 is on 25th January in the halls of Buxton Methodist Church 9:30-1pm (last item in 12:30). No fees, just donate what you can afford and feel is fair.
