Repair Café

Fix things together instead of throwing them away

A free monthly gathering where neighbours repair electronics, clothes, and furniture alongside volunteer coaches. Skills are shared, waste stays out of the bin.

What you can do

  • Bring one broken item and sit with a fixer who talks you through the repair
  • Offer a skill (soldering, sewing, bike tuning) even for a single afternoon
  • Partner with a café or library for tables, sockets, and tea

Why it matters

Repair culture builds confidence, keeps useful objects circulating, and turns consumption into craft.
