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.
Our Repair Cafe will be run by local volunteers who want 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.
Our Cafe will open once per month on a Saturday and will be a place where clothes, furniture, electrical appliances, bicycles, crockery, and toys can be repaired by volunteers and you working together.
Our Cafe is both a community service and an opportunity for our volunteers to help others and share their knowledge. There is no charge for the repair 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 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 with the smooth running of the cafe.

Latest News
We have submitted our Charitable Incorporated Organisation application with the Charities Commission. This application is expected to take several months to be approved due to the high number of applications currently being received by the Commission.
However, we are not waiting for approval to make further progress and are now working on creating a project plan and budget so we can apply for funding.
We will also be working on creating the policies and procedures needed and having the right insurance cover in place to ensure the safe operation of the cafe.
We will be creating a monthly newsletter for all our volunteers to stay informed or watch this space for further details.
Please get in contact for further information.
