Over 35 items have been saved from landfill thanks to our Repair Café, and that number is still growing.
On the last Saturday of each month, the Brampton and Fellside Repair Café works to save the community money and keep items out of landfill. Thanks to an army of willing volunteers who organise the venue, repair items and, of course, provide cake, it has been a great success.
We’ve repaired everything from chairs to bikes, garden tools to lamps, and clothes to jewellery, all free of charge. It’s a small step towards tackling our throwaway society, and it helps us learn skills that are otherwise being lost.
The Repair Café is made possible by support from Brampton Community Centre, Brampton Acting Together, Sustainable Brampton, North Pennines AONB and the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
