If you have an item that needs repairing, bring it along to one of our Repair Cafes! Organised jointly with Cambridge Carbon Footprint and many other local groups, there are now lots of Repair Cafes happening in and around Cambridge. Find out where and when they are here, and book in your items! There are no guarantees, but our volunteer repairers are very skilled, and are also keen to show people how to fix things themselves.

Friday 22nd March: Air quality in Cambridge

Friends Meeting House, Jesus Lane and online 19:00-20:00 add to google calendar
Wood stoves are good for climate change but bad for air quality. Is it OK to use them occasionally? What are the main sources of air pollution in Cambridge - and what are the current trends? Anne-Marie Hindley and Elizabeth Bruce, council officers and authors of the last report on air quality in Cambridge will give us a short talk and then take questions. We will also have some information to share on indoor air quality.

This meeting will be free to attend, all welcome, but donations to cover the venue cost would be much appreciated.

Contact Nicola for the zoom link if you would like to attend remotely.

Make a donation!

As many of you know, we run on a shoe-string budget, and we generally find that we can do a lot with very little money at all. However, there are some basic costs we have to meet each year, and we'd be very grateful for your donations. You can donate via bank transfer or cheque (details here). Thank you!
