Our disposable culture & planned obsolescence are the root of many problems - as is isolation from lack of community.

Reduced environmental impact, mutual aid and tackling the cost of living crisis all intersect at Repair Café!

“You want to create a slogan that nobody’s going to be against & everybody’s going to be for. Nobody knows what it

My aunty is raising money for breast cancer. She has stage 4 breast cancer that spread to her brain. Last year part of her skull had to be removed so she has to wear a helmet. This year she's crocheted a helmet hat 🥰

Yes I'm concerned that at least here in Argyll & Bute it looks like the funding is going to be used for yet another bacme style mild ME 'rehabilitation' service - an utter waste of money.
