The first Ringwood Repair Café event on Saturday 27th April proved very popular with local folk. Some 31 repairs were undertaken, and ultimately 57kg of waste was saved from ending up in landfill by being repaired instead!
Repair Cafés are free meeting places and they’re all about repairing things (together). On clothes, furniture, small electrical appliances, bicycles, crockery, appliances, toys, etcetera.
Visitors bring their broken items from home. Together with volunteer specialists they start making their repairs in the Repair Café. It’s an ongoing learning process.
If you have nothing to repair, you can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee. Or maybe you can lend a hand with someone else’s repair job.
