Cafe Repair for broken things!

Sue & Steven Boulding, Baschurch, contacte me about this interesting venture.

The next repair cafe is on Saturday 1st April 11am -  3pm

Participate Art Gallery, Riverside Mall, (Opposite Wilco), Shrewsbury.

From Liz Evans
The idea of the repair cafe is very simple, if it is broke, rather than throw it away, bring it in and we will try and fix it.

The idea is to create a culture where people do not simply throw something away if it is broken, but try to get it fixed, which saves both money and resources.

What can we fix?

Torches, lamps, radios, ornaments, bikes, jumpers etc.

If it is small enough to carry in, we can try to fix it.

There is a small team of fixers doing a great job who volunteer their services and time once a month.

There is no charge but we do ask for donations.

Repair Cafés are free meeting places and they're all about repairing things (together). In the place where a Repair Café is located, you'll find tools and materials to help you make any repairs you need. On clothes, furniture, electrical appliances, bicycles, crockery, appliances, toys, et cetera. You'll also find expert volunteers, with repair skills in all kinds of fields.

Visitors bring their broken items from home. Together with the specialists they start making their repairs in the Repair Café. It's an ongoing learning process. If you have nothing to repair, you can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee. Or you can lend a hand with someone else's repair job. You can also get inspired at the reading table – by leafing through books on repairs and DIY.
