Kingsclere’s Repair Café, held once a month at the Fieldgate Centre, is a community-driven initiative aimed at promoting sustainability and reducing waste. Local residents can bring in broken household items—ranging from small electronics to clothes and furniture—and skilled volunteers will help repair them free of charge. This event not only empowers individuals to fix things instead of discarding them but also fosters a sense of togetherness and environmental consciousness. The Repair Café offers a valuable opportunity for residents to learn new skills, share knowledge, and contribute to a more sustainable future while enjoying a welcoming, social atmosphere.
