Repair Cafe Wales

Repair Cafe Wales facilitates pop-up events where members of the community can have a household item fixed for free, in order to prevent that item ending up in landfill. There are currently repair cafes in over 50 locations across Wales. Repair Cafe Wales also offers training and advice to encourage communities that want to work towards a more Circular Economy, creating a culture of repair and re-use, directly addressing the ever growing emergency of unsustainable growth in landfill and waste.

“Repair Cafe Wales recognises that the shift of humanity into a throw-away society is not a sustainable one. Committed to facilitating the opening of repair cafés in every town, village, city and suburb in Wales, we are focusing our energies on nurturing a cleaner, more sustainable world whilst our repair cafe communities are inclusive and safe environments for people of all ages and backgrounds to share knowledge, skills, and to generally connect.”

“There is an ever growing demand for repair cafes across Wales and this response reflects increasing public concern over the climate emergency and positively indicates a motivation amongst our society to come together and take practical steps towards a solution. Repair Cafe Wales is working for our communities to influence standards for goods and government policy, collecting data from our community hubs, and helping to inform policy decisions that promote a greener, more sustainable world.”
