South and Vale Active Communities

New community repair hub opens in Abingdon

People in Abingdon and neighbouring villages will benefit from a new community repair hub, Shed Space, which offers a space to refurbish bikes and household items as well as opportunities to make new friends and share skills.

Four photo sections, each shaped uniquely, showing kids engaged in different fun outdoor activities: Playing with a colorful parachute. Playing soccer. Smiling with helmets and pads—possibly at a skate park. Playing a game with a bat and ball (like cricket or baseball). Background elements include light blue line-art illustrations of various sports and outdoor items: whistles, trophies, soccer balls, tennis rackets, flags, etc.—emphasizing the fun and active summer theme.
