New Free Jericho Repair Shop Launches in Oxford to Prevent Unnecessary Waste
A new free repair shop is launching in the Jericho neighborhood of Oxford, offering assistance with fixing bikes, electrical items, computers, and clothes. The inaugural Jericho Repair Shop event takes place on Saturday between 10:00 and 12:00 BST at St Barnabas CE Primary School. Organiser John Mair initiated the community hub to stop people from throwing things away, drawing inspiration from a similar repair service in Wolvercote.
Event attendees can access free expert repairs for bicycles, sewing, computers, and knife sharpening while making donations to cover rental and advertising costs. Mair hopes the initiative will attract enough interest and visitor turnout to continue running on a monthly basis on the first Saturday of upcoming months.
