Why a Repair Cafe?

As members of the International Repair Cafe Foundation We believe everything is worth repairing. 

We are getting better at Recycling in the UK but we are not great at REPAIR and REUSE 

Did you know, 2 MILLION TONNES of Electrical and Electronic Equipment is discarded by households and companies EVERY YEAR? That's roughly the weight of 198 EIFFEL TOWERS!

1.2 MILLION TONNES of Clothing and Textiles are discarded by households and companies in the UK alone. That’s like filling 240,000 large delivery trucks with waste, year after year. 

Imagine the impact if more of these items were repaired or reused?

That's where we fit in. 

 Repair Cafes are welcoming spaces focused on repairing items—together! Swing by and meet our Pitstone and Ivinghoe Team if you want to fix your broken belongings, seek advice on DIY repairs, or just lend a hand in helping the environment.

 

We are proud to be making a difference
