A Repair Café is a meeting place that you can go to get broken items fixed. You will be able to sit down with a skilled volunteer as they carry out the repairs. By doing this, you can pick up valuable, life long skills which will mean less items being discarded as ‘unfixable’. In all of our Repair Cafés, you will find tools and materials to do any repairs needed.
We invite you to bring in your broken items for Repair. Repair Cafés offer a mixture in types of repairs they can do ranging from textiles, knife sharpening and electrical goods. We cannot guarantee that we are able to repair everything brought into the Café, but we will definitely give it a try.

Each of our Repair Cafés are usually held once per month in a Church Hall or local Community Center. To find out where your nearest Repair Café is located and the dates here.
