Empowering Communities Together
Bracknell Repair Cafe
Welcome to the Bracknell Repair Café
A new Repair Cafe is coming to Bracknell and will be located at St Andrews Church in Priestwood.
We aim to open our doors later in the year, in September/October 2026.
A Repair Cafe is run by local volunteers to help their community repair their broken items. The Repair Cafe initiative started in the Netherlands in 2009, and there are now over 2,500 Repair Cafes worldwide, with 450 or so in the UK.
Cafe's typically open once per month on a Saturday and are a place where your clothes, furniture, electrical appliances, bicycles, crockery, and toys can be repaired by volunteers and customers working together.
A Cafe's offers both community service and learning opportunities where volunteers can help others and share their knowledge.
Everyone working in the Repair Cafe is a volunteer, and costs are kept to a minimum. The repairs are done for free, although customers may have to provide parts where required, and donations are accepted to help with running costs.
Volunteers Needed !
The Bracknell Repair Cafe is now actively recruiting local volunteers.
We are looking for local 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 with the smooth running of the cafe.
