Jericho Repair Shop Launches in Oxford

A new free repair initiative debuts this Saturday at St Barnabas CE Primary School in Oxford. Running from 10:00 to 12:00 BST, the event offers assistance with repairing bicycles, electrical items, computers, and clothing to prevent waste. Organizer John Mair, who initiated the project to foster community sustainability, is seeking voluntary donations to cover event advertising and rental costs.

Mair hopes to establish the repair shop as a monthly fixture, contingent on public attendance levels. He aims to gauge community demand to decide if the service will continue through November and December. The project intends to serve as a local hub for sustainable living.
