Repair Café is a global movement to reduce waste and build skills and community.

During this two-hour event, our handy volunteer "Fixers" help repair your household items - for free! Broken lamp? Jeans with a hole? Coffee maker that just won't turn on? Don't toss it - bring it to Repair Café and learn how to fix it yourself!

Thanks to our incredible team of volunteers, nearly three quarters (73%) of all broken items brought to London Repair Café get fixed! Such items include lamps, toaster ovens, curling irons, clocks, jeans, purses, coats, chairs, radios, microwaves, bikes, toys, and many, many more!

You can learn more about the ICS and its other programs, including the London Thing Library, at our website: https://communitysustainability.ca/
