SWVG-MAY-JUN-2026-rc

The April South Woodford Repair Café saved 205kg of waste from landfill by repairing 59 items, which prevented the equivalent of 1,252kg of CO2 emissions.

“It was a huge success with over 100 people attending and all sorts of repairs undertaken, including a dress mended in time for an evening party. We were also pleased to welcome St John’s Ambulance, who helped people practice vital CPR,” said a spokesperson. The next event will take place on 25 July from 10am to 1pm at the Woodford Memorial Hall.
