I am following in the footsteps of Jen from mymakedoandmendyear and Emma from Wiltshire Wildlife Trust and setting up Wiltshire’s third Repair Cafe next Saturday (28th September) at the Pound Arts Centre, Corsham. I am working with Corsham’s transition movement, Transcoco, to arrange for local experts and enthusiastic volunteers to help people repair broken household items. From broken chairs and unreliable toasters to moth-eaten jumpers and temperamental hairdryers we hope to help people fix rather than throw. All services and equipment will be offered for free and I hope that in return customers will make contact with professionals whom they may use again, as well as gaining the confidence to repair things themselves rather than sending to landfill.
