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.

Our volunteer Repairers will be in Buxton Methodist Church again this Saturday 26 Sept 9:30am-1pm (Last item in 12:30). No fees, just donate what you can afford and feel is fair. Do be aware that you may have to wait for the appropriate Repairer to be available, but the Church Cafe will serve you a bargain cuppa and their toasted tea cakes are reputed to be the best in town.
