Repair Cafe Winchester saving hundreds of items from landfill
Make a Difference: Hampshire, Dorset and IoWAvailable for over a year
The Repair Cafe Winchester is one of the finalists in the Green category for 麻豆社 Radio Solent's Make a Difference Awards for 2024. The group has saved 1240kg of household items from ending up in landfill, since it launched in 2023. Volunteers run two monthly cafes, in Winchester, where people can bring items to be repaired. "I believe this facility is a great thing for the people of Winchester to get items repaired by the volunteers who give their time freely and in a friendly atmosphere at no cost to everyone. They deserve recognition for their part in this very useful service which is free of charge." The Make a Difference Awards are your chance to say 鈥淭hank You鈥 and show recognition and appreciation for people who love to make life better for others. Nominations for the 2024 awards have now closed and finalists have been selected by a panel of judges. The winners will be announced at our 麻豆社 Radio Solent Make a Difference Awards ceremony in September.
