Repair Cafe Signup 03/08/25

The central mission of Repair Café is to impart knowledge of making repairs and/or mending to the client. The purpose is to teach the client to mend and/or do the repair on their own.

Given the increased interest in Repair Café, the specialist is limited to helping the client within the allotted 1/2 hour appointment time. Repairs and/or mending that require more time will need to be finished by the client.

Please check the volunteer skills we can offer at this Repair Cafe and choose the one that matches the item you need to repair most closely.

Do you have something on a shelf you've been meaning to fix for ages? Bring it to us, we love a repair challenge!

Free for everyone. To make an appointment see the form. For more information, see repaircafewin.com.

Please bring us your unwanted TV remote controls as we can repurpose them and give them a new life!
