Repair Cafe Organisers Hub

How can we help?

This is where you can find information about the resources that we offer to support established Repair Cafes in Cambridgeshire. We regularly update our systems, please check this page each time you run a Repair Cafe for the latest information on the support that we can offer.

Get help finding repairers

We send out a monthly newsletter on the first Thursday of the month including a call for additional repairers to support upcoming Repair Cafes. You can ask for repairers in the two newsletters before your Repair Cafe. To have your request included in the newsletter please email repairnetwork@cambridgecarbonfootprint.org.

Book a toolkit

Booking calendar coming soon...

To reserve a toolkit you must:

  • have attended our ‘How to run a Repair Cafe’ training session;
  • have a venue booked;
  • have appropriate insurance;
  • have at least one experienced repairer from our network, who is willing to take responsibility for the toolkit, repairing at your Repair Cafe; 
  • agree to pay £20 to replenish toolkit consumables; 
  • agree to inform us of any problems with the toolkit/consumables that need to be replenished;
  • agree to collect and return the toolkit in a timely manner.

If all of the above holds true, please check our events calendar for a suitable date and then email repairnetwork@cambridgecarbonfootprint.org to request a toolkit. We currently have two toolkits so it’s possible to have two Repair Cafes on the same day within the network.
