We are looking for people to help the team, either as "fixers" or behind the scenes. If you think you would like to join us, please click here to let us know.
At Shalford Repair Café, we believe things are worth fixing, and community spirit worth strengthening. We're a friendly bunch of volunteers who love nothing more than tackling a faulty toaster, a wobbly chair, or a favourite jacket that's seen better days..
Through fixing and passing on repair skills, we aim to combat planned product obsolescence, keep waste out of landfill and create a more circular economy that reduces raw material needs and lowers carbon emissions. We hope to empower you with the confidence and self-reliance to fix your own belongings and think critically about current consumer values.
Our monthly café events are part of a growing world movement that says enough with the throwaway culture. Bring us your broken stuff, have a coffee and a cake and we'll do our best to fix it and show you how. Free! Every repair is a small victory for the planet, a saving for you, and a fun way to meet your neighbours and our brilliant local team.
Come along. Everyone's welcome!
We are renting the Shalford Village Upper Hall for the Repair Café, where there is lots of free parking.
If you can book ahead (see panel on right), it will help us to make sure we have fixers on hand to help you when you come in, but this is not essential - just drop in.
We hold our sessions on the 2nd Saturday of every month, so do come along, and bring with you any broken items you have. If you want to be sure we have the right "fixers" available on the day, use the "book in" form here
