How to run a Repair Cafe in your community

Mon 10 Feb 2025, 7:30pm – 9:00pm

A free online session for anyone who would like to run a Repair Cafe in their community. Cambridgeshire is recognised as a UK hub for Repair Cafes, and we have a strong team that supports new groups and individuals who’d like to have a go. Repair Cafes not only keep resources out of landfill and save greenhouse gases, but are brilliant community building events too. The feedback from visitors is almost 100% positive and the organisers tend to find it really rewarding too.

We recommend that you visit a Repair Cafe before the training session if possible. You can find upcoming events in Cambridgeshire here.

The online training will introduce you to how Repair Cafes are organised, the support we can offer you and answer any questions you may have. We cover venue, publicity, safety, insurance, recruiting volunteers and repairers. If you’re keen to get going ahead of the training we recommend starting to build a local team of repairers and general volunteers. You may find it helpful to signpost repairers to our “Repair with us” page so that they can find out more about what’s involved.

Please SIGN UP HERE to join the training. We will send out a teams link closer to the time. Please email repairnetwork@cambridgecarbonfootprint.org if you are unable to make the date but keen to get trained up.
