Llandrindod Wells Repair Cafe marks national community action week

Llandrindod Repair Cafe marked Great Big Green Week (6 - 14th June) at its monthly session on Saturday, June 13.

The annual week, launched in 2021 by The Climate Coalition, aims to be the UK’s largest celebration of community action, featuring local nature walks, repair cafés, and community clean-ups

The Repair Cafe, a project of Llandrindod Transition, consists of experienced volunteer ‘fixers’ and a support team dedicated to reducing waste and pollution by repairing portable items which might otherwise end up in landfill.

It meets in a relaxed atmosphere with refreshments at Celf O Gwmpas on Tremont Road on the second Saturday of each month between 2pm and 5pm and looks forward to its 12th anniversary in July.

There is no charge for fixing, apart from any parts and materials needed, but donations are welcome to cover costs.

June’s afternoon was busy with a variety of repairs including a coffee maker, vacuum cleaners, sewing tasks and sharpening garden tools, demonstration of Morsbags simple to make bags made out of scrap material as a substitute for throwaway plastic and a stand by local electric car club Trydan Ni.

Llandrindod Transition hopes to link more events to next year’s Great Big Green Week.
