that we provide free support and advice to anyone wanting to set up a Repair Café or Sharing Library?
Wouldn't it be fantastic if every community had a Repair Café and Library of Things?
So far we've been visited by and provided support and guidance to Biggar Area Climate Care, Greener Berwick and Coquetdale Climate Action to set up their own wonderful Repair Cafés. We're looking forward to meeting with Greener Berwick and Mid Lothian Climate Action Network, each planning on establishing their own Tool Library...
Please email Rosie, fixingforafuture@gmail.com if you'd like to arrange a visit to our Tool Library or see a Repair Café in action.
We'll be delighted to share what we've learned over the last three years - how to get started; challenges along the way; recruiting and keeping volunteers engaged; how to be part of the wider push for a circular economy...and lots more!
If you aren't already part of a group and are looking for Share and Repair projects near you, we thoroughly recommend checking out Circular Communities Scotland and all the great information they've gathered from members, particularly the Share and Repair Map.
Let's work together to make the *circular economy* an everyday reality everywhere!
*The circular economy is a system where materials never become waste and nature is regenerated. In a circular economy, products and materials are kept in circulation through processes like maintenance, reuse, refurbishment, remanufacture, recycling, and composting. The circular economy tackles climate change and other global challenges, like biodiversity loss, waste, and pollution, by decoupling economic activity from the consumption of finite resources.
