Over 100 people attended the Wanstead Repair Café last month, with a total of 72 items given a new lease of life.

“As well as repairs, we also had stalls from Redbridge Council on sustainable living, the Wanstead Community Gardeners, who were giving away free plants and seeds, and Wanstead Climate Action, who were giving out leaflets and advice. Overall, 293kg of waste was prevented along with an estimated 2,042kg saving of CO2 emissions,” said a spokesperson.

The next event will take place on 25 October at Christ Church hall.
