"By repairing electronics, furniture, clothing, bags, toys and bikes we help people reduce waste and keep their favourite items, helping to save money, reduce waste and have a cuppa, cake and a chat.

“We have electronics, mechanics, woodworks and a skilled sewing team on hand to help. We also provide tool and knife sharpening” added Louise.

Repairs are carried out for a voluntary donation.

The Repair Café is held in line with Covid-19 precautions, lots of ventilation, masks and hand sanitiser.
