Heston in the Loop

Creating a greener, stronger Heston

Heston in the loop has transformed our community. Its more then an initiative - It’s a movement powered by our community to create a sustainable, thriving future. By embracing repairing, sharing, reducing consumption and local empowerment, we’re proving that small actions can create big changes.

Here’s what we’ve achieved so far:

  • Shared/rented 5,300 items

including 3,400kg of food redistributed to those in need.

  • Engaged 5,000+ residents

In addition to 7 schools, 45 business and 13 community groups, supporting activities such as gardening sessions, refill shops, repair workshops/events, swap shops, and recycling hard to recycle materials.

  • Hosted 87 events

Teaching repair skills, encouraging resourcefulness, and inspiring sustainable living.

Hounslow Repair Cafe

The Hounslow Repair Café offers a free community service to support residents in repairing everyday items, helping to reduce waste and promote sustainability. Visitors can bring items such as bicycles, small electrical appliances, laptops, and clothing for assessment and repair. Volunteers are on hand to carry out repairs and provide guidance on how to fix items independently in the future.

See what's happening at the Repair Cafe below.

Bring your broken stuff in and we'll help you fix it (bikes, small appliances, clothing and digital).

Please note: diagnosing faults can sometimes take longer than expected. You may have to visit again in case a spare part is needed.

When:

On the third Sunday of the month, 1.30pm tp 4.30pm.
