Fordingbridge has a large green initiative in 'Fordingbridge Greener Living' their activities are covered in the following web site www.fordinbridgegreenerliving.org these are broken down as follows:
Repair Cafe
Recycling
Ridian Composter
Tree Planting and Rewilding
Community Energy
Community Fridge and Freezer
Community Garden
Community Orchard
Low Waste Shopping
Plastic Free Fordingbridge
Our community is too small to work on the scale of Fordingbridge so our approach can be to utilise as appropriate any of these initiatives as individuals decide is appropriate.
Repair Cafes can be a useful resource to re-service and repair items so they can have an extended life and prevent the need to re-purchase with all of the green consequences that that brings. There are 2 repair cafes in the local area.
Fordingbridge Repair Cafe is held on every third Saturday of the month from 10am to 1pm in the Avonway Annex Room. See details at https://www.fordingbridgegreenerliving.org/repair-cafe/
Lover Repair Cafe is held normally every Wednesday and Friday from 10am to 12pm at Redlynch Village Hall. see details at https://redlynch.org.uk/lover-repair-cafe/
