Everything you need to know about Repair Cafes
Repair cafe events are free pop ups run by local communities with our support. They aim to reduce waste, share skills and bring communities together. At a repair cafe event, you can bring in items like a vacuum cleaner and our expert volunteers will investigate why it might not be working and do their best to fix it, and give you advice so you can learn to fix it yourself next time.
Vacuum Cleaners
Clothes
Electrical goods
Small kitchen appliances
- Furniture
Toys
Technology
Ornaments

And MORE!
If you have a specialist item, you can contact your local repair cafe to see what they can do.


The process for fixing items
Once you’ve brought in your item, repair cafe volunteers will try to repair it (for free!) whilst you can chat and learn how your item is being fixed, to learn new skills and help you attempt a similar repair in the future.
