The Repair Cafe

Repair Café is a neighbourhood initiative that promotes repair as an alternative to tossing things out. The initiators organise a Repair Café every month in different locations around the west midlands. Residents of the local area can bring their broken items to fix them on the spot with the help of voluntary repairers. The Repair Café could always use more handy volunteers in the area. Join us!

Repair Café is looking for local residents with different skills who can be present as repair experts during the Repair Café meetings. We are especially looking for people who are handy with:

• clothing / textile      
• electrical appliances
  
• furniture / wooden object
  
• bicycles

In addition, we are also looking for people who wish to fulfil the role of host / hostess at the meetings. You provide coffee and tea, welcome visitors and serve as a contact point for both visitors and repairers in the Repair Café.

We could also really use people who are handy with computers and the Internet! We are looking for someone to help us with our website and to, for example, make Repair Café Halesowen more present on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

​REDUCE-REUSE-REPAIR-REMAKE

We are encouraging a repair lifestyle. Where you can make the things you buy last longer and save you money in the meantime. This is a place to learn new skills, meet new people and give your possessions and extra life!
​
We are always looking for volunteers and equipment donations. The Repair Cafe is entirely run by Volunteers and financial/ physical donations. Without this we couldn’t continue.

Please fill out the form and provide us with what role(s) you may be interested in. We are always looking for Repairers, Cake and tea makers, and administrators. If you are looking to volunteer as a repairer please leave us with a description of any areas of expertise you may have.
