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

During this 2 hour event, we will have community members on hand who can help you with your items that need fixing. If you have a small appliance or piece of clothing or something else that needs fixing, please bring it in and have it repaired - for free :)

Thanks to our awesome team of volunteer "fixers", more than half of all the broken items that are brought in get repaired! Some of the items that have been repaired in the past are: toaster ovens, curling irons, clocks, lamps, jeans, purses, coats, chairs, radios, microwaves, etc.

This month's event is part of the "Green In The City' event alongside the City of London and London Environmental Network.

If this is your first time attending the Repair Café or if it's been a while since you last came, check out our Frequently Asked Questions to get a sense of how it works and what you can bring.

Interested in being a “fixer”? See here for more details of what that involves and to complete a short volunteer application form.
