Share and Repair

We`re so excited to share that we have PAT tested over 2000 items at the Keynsham Reuse Shop since the beginning of 2025!

In 2023 we started collaborating with the Keynsham Reuse Shop and @bathnescouncil to PAT test items that were dropped off at Keynsham`s Recycling Centre, saving any items that were still working and safe to use from landfill.

Items that were still working were cleaned up and put for sale in the Reuse Shop, giving many items a new home.

Well done to our brilliant team of Volunteers who head to the Reuse Shop each week, and are making a real impact on the environment!

✨ The Pounds Art Centre, Corsham, SN13 9HX, from 10:45am - 1pm

Danielle brought her 15 year old vacuum cleaner into High Littleton Repair Cafe.

She said that it `was a fantastic piece of kit`, but unfortunately the cable had started fraying after many years of use!

Her husband had tried to replace the fraying cable but couldn`t get the machine back together, luckily the team at High Littleton were able to successfully repair and PAT test the vacuum cleaner to ensure that the machine was safe to use.

We`re so pleased we could help, and hope the vacuum will keep cleaning for another 15 years!

We’re so pleased to share that we are now able to give phones to people in need!

We have been collaborating with @donate.i.t to run Tech Amnesties around Bath and the surrounding areas. We are thrilled that they have given us some refurbished mobile phones to give out to low income families who are setting up in a new home, as part of our HomeKIT Project!

We currently collect donations of small home electricals including lamps, blenders and much more to help people in need get set up in a home.

We’re so pleased that we are now able to include mobile phones in our inventory, giving people access to work opportunities, community and education!
