Repair Cafe Wales: Fix it Feb
The Heart of Wales Line is more than a scenic rail route; it’s a lifeline for rural communities. Being rural means, it can sometimes be difficult for residents to visit the larger towns and cities to purchase new items, which is why we are encouraging our communities to take part in Fix it Feb.
What is Fix it Feb? It’s a national campaign organised and run by Repair Cafe Wales to keep cherished and practical items out of landfill. By repairing instead of replacing, we save money, reduce waste and promote sustainability.
How to take part?
- Pledge: Take the pledge on the Repair Cafe Wales website to fix one item this month – anything from a toaster to a t-shirt.
- Ride the Rails to Repair: Take the sustainable route and travel by train with your item to your local Repair Cafe. We’ve compiled a list of those near railway stations along the Heart of Wales Line.
- Skills Sharing: Repair Cafes are also social hubs so why not sit with a volunteer, grab a cup of tea and learn how to maintain your own gear.
