Thanks again to all our volunteer repairers who helped out at this event.

We have used the Repair Café Carbon Calculator once again developed by Steve Privett, Professor Martin Charter of Farnham Repair Café and the University for the Creative Arts (UCA) which calculates the KG of CO2 saved by repairing each item.
