Empowering Communities Together
Bracknell Repair Cafe
Welcome to the Bracknell Repair Café
A new Repair Café has opened in Bracknell at St Andrews Church in Priestwood.
We meet on the first Saturday of each month from 10:00 to 12:00 PM. Our next opening for local residents will be on 7 November.
Local volunteers run our Repair Café to help the community repair broken items. The Repair Café initiative started in the Netherlands in 2009, and there are now over 2,500 Repair Cafes worldwide, with about 450 in the UK.
The Bracknell Café is a place where clothes, furniture, electrical appliances, bicycles, crockery, and toys can be repaired by volunteers and you working together.
The Bracknell Café is both a community service and an opportunity for our volunteers to help others and share their knowledge. There is no charge for repairs, although customers may need to provide parts where required, and we accept donations to help with running costs.
The Bracknell Repair Café is being established as an independent charity and will soon be launching its own website.
Volunteers Needed !
The Bracknell Repair Café is still actively recruiting local volunteers.
We are looking for local volunteer fixers who can repair small domestic electrical and mechanical items such as Kettles, Coffee Makers, Vacuum Cleaners, Lamps, Sewing Machines, Record Players, Bikes and Furniture etc as well as Fixers who can repair textiles, clothes and soft toys, and anyone who would like to offer their specialist skills to the local community.
We are also looking for volunteers to help keep the cafe running smoothly.
