Green Appleton Repair Cafe
We started running repair cafes in November 2024, and have had five to date. We have a trusty band of repairers
ready to take on any challenge (well, almost) and we always have tea, coffee and cake on hand to make the wait for
the repair all the sweeter, and hopefully promote conversations about sustainability and a greener lifestyle.
Each event has proved popular - maybe due to the standard of cake provided by our lovely bakers - with the sharpening service being the most used. In February event we had a line of tools stretching across the whole of the floor of the village hall queueing for attention.
Our next event is on February 7th 2026 - so put the date in your diary, it will appear surprising quickly after Christmas. We are trying something new this time, and holding the event jointly with Appleton School, in the school hall. The school takes environmental issues and sustainability very seriously, so we hope to get them involved in an interesting and safe way, with activities the children will find enjoyable.

Photo Competition
We will also be announcing the winners of our Autumn and Winter Photo Competition. See below for details. There's plenty of beauty to be found in the winter landscape, so we look forward to seeing what pictures you take. But don't hang around - you haven't long to get those photos in!
Activity in the Repair Cafes
Total measures for all five Repair Cafes held so far
We measure what we repair by weight, to give some measure of how much material has been diverted from landfill.
In addition, we measure other things, to try and give an indication of the impact and effectiveness of the cafes.
We put the results on the page for each cafe, but here you can see a total of the impact of all five cafes that we have run so far.
