Lindfield Repair Cafe
Inspiring future generations to upcycle and repair
Project location
-
Lindfield Repair Café is a non-profit Community Interest Company project based in Lindfield. Our goal is to reduce waste by providing a volunteer-based repair service and community café to anyone in the Lindfield area. If you have something that needs fixing, just pop into one of our monthly repair café events and we’ll do our very best to have it back to you in working condition in no time at all. Remember you don't have to be a Lindfield resident, we are pleased to welcome visitors from across the mid-Sussex area.

People who might otherwise be sidelined are getting involved again. Valuable practical knowledge is getting passed on. Things are being used for longer and don’t have to be thrown away. This reduces the volume of raw materials and energy needed to make new products. It cuts CO2 emissions, for example, because manufacturing new products and recycling old ones causes CO2 to be released.
The Repair Café teaches people to see their possessions in a new light and, once again, to appreciate their value. The Repair Café helps change people’s mindset. This is essential to kindle people’s enthusiasm for a sustainable society.
But most of all, the Repair Café just wants to show how much fun repairing things can be, and how easy it often is. Why don’t you give it a go?

£500 - Micro Grant
-
The grant will be used to provide tools and equipment for LRC’s innovative Kid’s Table.
Lindfield Repair Café really wants to encourage local young people to get involved; not only by helping to reduce landfill waste but hopefully by igniting a passion to become 'our future repairers' . We are supporting this aim by providing a children's table, where they can take things apart and maybe even put them together again.
