WHAT WE DO
Some of our Key Projects
An important part of managing our collective resources responsibly is the adage: Reduce, Reuse, Refill, Repair & Repurpose, Recycle.
The Buxton Library of Things provides affordable access to over 100 useful resources and things that you don’t need to own.
Plastic pollution is evident all around us, blighting our lanes, paths and hedgerows, ending up in waterways and contributing to climate change.
Energy is fundamental to our modern way of life. But energy – specifically fossil fuels – is the main driver of climate change.

Growing numbers of homeowners are installing batteries that store electricity when it is cheap, which helps balance the grid and cuts emissions, and cheaper plug-in batteries could soon let more people do the same. Is this something that you have done or are considering? ![]()

A kind donor has offered a good Janome sewing machine to our Buxton Library of Things, but, as we already have 3 sewing machines in the Library, she has given us permission to offer this machine, which is in good working order to someone local who will use it (not for re-sale). It'd be £250/300 to buy new, so a suggested £40 donation to Transition Buxton is a bargain. Drop us an email on library@transitionbuxton.co.uk if you are interested .

The heat didn't deter folks from bringing things for mending to Repair Cafe today, a busy session with 40 items processed with just 7 not fixable, and a few coming back when replacement parts have been acquired. Our first Linux Clinic for Windows 10 users went smoothly and we will be offering this 2 stage process more fully from the next Buxton Repair Cafe on Sat 22 August - there is NO Buxton Repair Cafe in July. Have a great summer!
