Fix It February Urges Wrexham Residents to Repair Don’t Replace

Sam Rowlands, a Welsh Parliament member, supports “Fix it Feb.” The campaign promotes sustainability and reduces waste, and Rowlands thinks it’s a fantastic idea. He wants people to fix items, not replace them.

Wrexham residents can pledge to repair something, such as sewing a button, patching clothes, or restoring items. This saves money and helps the environment. It also supports local sustainability.

Gather broken items this February and prepare them for the Wrexham repair café. The event takes place on March 8, from 11am to 1pm, at the CAIA Park Centre, Prince Charles Road, postcode LL13 8TH.

Bring your damaged items to the café, where volunteer repairers will try to fix them for free. Repair Café Wales has saved £1 million and repaired over 21,000 items. This provides significant support to local communities.

Phoebe, director of Repair Café Wales, says repairing is simple and rewarding because you save money and reduce waste. The community can share skills. “Fix It Feb” shows that even small actions matter, helping both the environment and communities. Support “Fix It Feb” on Repair Café Wales’ website.
