Why throw something away when it could get a new lease of life from a simple repair?
Repair cafés are free and welcoming meeting places- all about bringing people to together to maintain and repair the things you need and love. They provide the tools, materials and helping hands to support you in making any repairs you need, ranging from clothes, to furniture, electrical appliances, bicycles, jewellery, toys and more.
It is all about bringing passionate people together to volunteer their repair skills across a range of fields.
Volunteers want to start a repair café in the Meadows! This workshop is all about getting started - bringing together people who want to volunteer, share their skills, or are interested in attending or supporting a repair café.
We'll brainstorm and chat about topics such as: What skills do we have/need? What could we mend? Where and when are these services needed? How could the repair café work with other initiatives e.g. DIY Club? And more!
If you'd like to volunteer or get involved, this is the workshop for you! We will also be discussing the wide range of volunteering opportunities, from mending to marketing to baking, and so on. Additionally, if you already have interests, you can let us know on the order form by selecting a role you're interested in.
We also encourage organisations who are running a similar service and want to contribute to come along and see how we can work together!
Everybody is welcome - you don't need to be a Meadows resident. We look forward to seeing you there and getting started.
