What do you do with a chair when the leg has come loose? A lamp that no longer works? A toaster that doesn't toast? A holey jumper? Throw it away? No way!
Don't leave it in a cupboard - let us help you fix it. Getting into the habit of repairing and reusing things helps us all. Saves money too of course.
Muswell Hill Sustainability Group, in co-operation with en10ergy are organising the first Repair Café in Muswell Hill and you're invited!
Muswell Hill Sustainability Group was founded in 2008 to help reduce carbon emissions and waste in Muswell Hill and the surrounding areas by offering expert advice, resources and recommendations for their community, to support them in livingmoresustainably.
To this end, they run a year round programme of workshops, tours, speaker meetings, green social events and their annual Green Open Home in the Autumn. MHSG’s sister organisation, en10ergy, has installed solar panels on four local public buildings, including Woodside High School in 2017, which have saved the school an estimated 54 tonnes of CO2 emissions and £17k in energy savings.
Repair Cafés like this one are free community events. We match 'bringers' who carry in something broken with experienced 'fixers' who can help, with free light refreshments (tea\coffee\fruit\biscuits). Around half of what is brought in gets fixed.
We'll help you fix it yourself and\or do it for you under your control.

Please look out for our follow up email where we ask you for more information so we can make sure the right people are there to help you when you arrive.

Looking forward to seeing you at the event :)
