A Bath-based charity are on a mission to bring people together to share, repair, reuse, and learn across B&NES and beyond by:
- fixing broken items instead of throwing them away in their weekly repair cafes
- lending items from the 800+ items in their ‘Library of Things’
- teaching practical skills in their ‘how to’ workshops
- supporting low-income families with the household items they need
Go to Home - Share and Repair to find out more and to sign up to their newsletter. Or keep an eye on their social media for details about their Repair Cafes and upcoming events.
Lending lockers at Mulberry Park are a treasure trove of useful items
Curo is delighted to support the charity’s new ‘lending lockers’ at Mulberry Park Hub. These are the first of its kind in the South West. The lockers are stocked with 23 useful and fun items available to borrow and return, 7 days a week.
Whether it’s to help with DIY – a steam cleaner, pressure washer and drills – or for a party - a disco ball, party lights, chocolate fondue, bubble machine, bunting and more – there’s lots of great items to hire. Visit Lockers - Share and Repair
As CEO, Ruth Lambert, explained, “The average electric drill is only used for about 15 minutes in its whole lifetime, so sharing makes so much sense”.
See how simple it is We’ve launched the first Library of Things Lending Lockers in the South West!
Repair Cafes – if it’s broken, get it fixed
The charity has 11 Repair Cafes around B&NES and the wider area providing affordable, accessible general repairs, sewing repairs and blade sharpening.
On a Saturday morning, you’ll find volunteer repairers, administrators and organisers helping people with their broken household items, on a ‘give what you can basis’.
