What is a Repair Café?
How does it work?
A repair cafe is a voluntary, non-commercial event, and not a repair shop. It is a neighbourhood meeting place, where people come to repair together, where knowledge is transferred and people teach and learn from one another. Repairs are made while the Repair Cafe is being held, in the presence of, and where possible with the cooperation of the owner of the broken item. Broken items are not handed in at the Repair Cafe and collected later.
What can be repaired?
These are the items we can generally repair:
- Small electrical and electronic repairs
- Carpentry repairs (e.g. gluing chairs)
- Toy repairs
- Computers & laptops (not mobile phones)
- Knife & tool sharpening
- Sewing repairs: mending /darning
Reviews
Bringing a Precious Childhood Toy back to Life
The lovely ladies mended "Little Bear" who is 66 years old. He's so grateful because now he can sit up and see what's going on again. Many thanks for a life-affirming experience!
