Across the United Kingdom, “Repair Cafés” are bringing generations together through a shared purpose—fixing instead of discarding. In these welcoming community spaces, skilled retirees volunteer their time and expertise to repair broken household items, from small appliances to electronics and furniture. Instead of throwing things away, people bring them in and learn how to restore them, often sitting side by side with the very people doing the repairs.

The atmosphere is collaborative rather than transactional. Retirees pass on practical knowledge built over decades, explaining how things work and guiding younger visitors through the repair process. This hands-on learning not only saves money but also builds confidence, showing that many everyday items can be fixed with patience and the right approach. It turns repair into a shared experience rather than a hidden skill.

Beyond fixing objects, Repair Cafés are helping reshape attitudes toward consumption. They reduce waste, extend the life of products, and promote a more sustainable way of living. At the same time, they create meaningful social connections, giving retirees a chance to stay active and valued within their communities. The initiative proves that when knowledge is shared freely, it can repair more than just broken items—it can strengthen communities too.

Caring for someone with dementia can bring feelings of grief long before any goodbye.

You might find yourself imagining the changes ahead - the shifts in communication, memories, and future plans. This is known as anticipatory grief.

When linked to dementia specifically, it can feel like you’re losing parts of the relationship even while the person is still here.

For many carers, this grief can be as challenging, or even harder, than the grief that comes after loss.

While planning ahead matters, try to also hold onto the moments you have right now.

Reaching out for support and sharing how you feel with others can be helpful.

As carers, we support many people with dementia. It's a disease that can affect people in many different ways, and needs to be understood before those with the condition can be properly supported.

That's why our staff undergo more than just mandatory training. We have arranged training for our teams on many conditions, including dementia.

We're proud to be dementia friends 💙💛
