Repair Cafés

A repair café is a community-driven event where volunteers help people fix their broken items for free. These cafes aim to reduce waste, promote sustainability, and foster a sense of community by encouraging people to repair rather than discard their belongings. Items commonly repaired include electronics, clothing, furniture, and bicycles. Do you have items that need repairing rather than buy a new one?  Repair Cafés are throughout Gloucestershire, find your local one here.
