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. ... See MoreSee Less
