Who are we? We are a group of volunteers who want to inspire and help you to “Reduce Carbon, Increase Nature, Improve Health & Wellbeing”. We have 28 eco partners, who focus on specific aspects of our Climate & Nature Emergency.

ECO Action Hub has lots of ideas for ways you can make a difference. We are a charity supported by subscriptions, and donations which we may ask for in return for our services.

What do we offer?

The Repair Café: Help you fix broken items for free!

Going from strength to strength since being set up 2 years ago and now relocating to the ECO Action Hub from March, the Repair Café is all about the importance of make-do-and-mend for sustainable living.

Learn new skills, meet new people and create the habit of repairing and reusing things. Repair skills available in the hub include:

• textiles, sewing
• woodwork, dolls, toys
• small electrical items, such as vacuums (excludes microwaves)

We aim to fix anything, our volunteers love to solve problems! Check out our Facebook and Instagram to find out what we have been fixing.

Open from 10:00 to 15:00 every second Saturday each month. Pre-book a free service-ticket by clicking ‘Register’ on our Eventbrite page.

Alternatively, email us on repair.maidenhead@gmail.com.
