Repair Cafe Wales' Manifesto has launched!
Sarah G. 27 Nov 2025
Repair Caf茅 Wales and Benthyg Cymru have launched Borrow, Repair, Repeat: A Manifesto- a national call to action to make Wales the best in the world at borrowing and repair.

This manifesto sets out a vision for a Wales where sharing and repairing are part of everyday life, supported by strong national infrastructure and long-term investment.

Repair Cafe Wales and Benthyg Cymru are calling for:

- Recognition- treating borrowing and repair as essential social infrastructure for resilience, wellbeing, climate, and fairness.

- Normalisation- bold national campaigns to make sharing and mending easy, desirable, and mainstream.

- Embedding- integrating borrowing and repair into planning, procurement, and development strategies.

- Repair Cafes and Libraries of Things are already reducing emissions and saving people money. They must continue as core services.

Read the manifesto and show your support here:

They have over 1300 members and over 5000 tools, so it will be a big job to move, and they will appreciate any support they can get! Donations of time, money or construction materials would help them out a lot.
