Inaugural cafe on 16th March, 2024, at the College of West Anglia, Wisbech Campus.

We held our first Repair Cafe in 2019 and usually hold 2 or 3 events per annum. Our events are held primarily in the Hub Community Centre in Cambourne, or at Cambourne Village College as part of their Eco Festival.

Repair Cafes are distinct from Restart Parties, but there is considerable overlap, and much to be gained from sharing information.  They are co-ordinated from the Netherlands (http://repaircafe.org), and are not in competition with Restart Parties (there’s more than enough to fix for us both!)

Repair Cafes tend to be less hi-tech than Restart Parties, though we will tackle computers, laptops, tablets and phones when requested.  Repairs are always free, and a cafe (which charges modest prices) is associated with the event, to cater for those who are waiting to be seen.

Cambridge Carbon Footprint co-ordinates Repair Cafes in the Cambridge area. Learn more here: https://cambridgecarbonfootprint.org/repair-cafes/

Electronics, electricals, clothing, clocks, jewellery, bikes, gadgets, sewing machines, radios, watches, woodwork. In other words we’re happy to triage (at least) most things.

We have a system where applicants fill in a web form and that feeds into a Google spreadsheet. Then we triage the repair requests and let each person know if we can help or not. In case of questions, the repairers can liaise with applicants either directly or via our administrators.

We have a good group already, but definitely open for more assistance from interested volunteers near us!
