@CircularDorking

Circular Dorking coordinates sustainability programs and circular economy initiatives throughout Surrey Hills from its base in Dorking, Surrey. The organization runs regular repair cafes, home energy efficiency demonstrations, and hands-on workshops teaching practical waste reduction techniques to local residents and business owners. Their resource hub connects participants with vetted sustainability tools, repair services, and recycling facilities across the region. The initiative focuses on three core areas: waste reduction through reuse and repair, residential energy efficiency improvements, and business sustainability practices. Their repair cafe network brings together skilled volunteers who help community members fix electronics, furniture, textiles, and household items that would otherwise enter landfills. Monthly educational sessions cover topics like home energy audits, solar installation, and commercial composting systems. Circular Dorking partners with Surrey Hills businesses and community groups to establish circular supply chains and material recovery programs. Their online directory maps local repair services, secondhand retailers, and recycling facilities while documenting successful waste reduction case studies. The organization provides guidance for residents transitioning from conventional consumption patterns to circular economy practices through workshops, site visits, and resource matching.
