#### Getting there
The Low Energy Visitor Centre is in The Lodge in Raphael Park.
Public Transport: 20 minute walk from Romford Station. There is a bus stop directly outside the entrance which is served by the 174, 347, 498, 686 and N86.
By Car: Parking is available directly across the road from the visitor centre in Lodge Farm Park on Main Road.
== Hosted by East London Repair Cafes ==
East London Waste Authority are working in partnership with four London boroughs - Barking & Dagenham, Havering, Newham and Redbridge to bring repair opportunities to local residents.
Through our Repair Cafes we hope to inspire others to share the repair message and set up their own repair cafes within our local communities.
If you are interested in supporting our repair cafes do get in touch - we'd love to hear from you.
Volunteering opportunities include:
Electrical Repair : help to fix electrical items
If you feel you need more experience you can be paired up with an experienced fixer
Data recording: to be able to measure the impact we record the age of the item, the issue, whether it can be repaired, what work is carried out and next steps.
All this information helps generate an accurate environmental impact score, including the waste prevented in KG and the estimated CO2 emissions prevented.
General event support: supporting with set up, signposting residents to the relevant information about reduce, reuse and repair initiatives and replenishing refreshments is a vital role within our Repair Cafes
