Repair Cafe
Our Repair Cafe is a community event where skilled volunteers are available to advise and repair broken or damaged household items.
People are also invited to learn how to fix their own broken items alongside the repairers, instead of throwing them away.
About the Repair Cafe:
We meet monthly, between 10am and 12noon at Arnside Educational Institute, Church Hill. The Repair Cafe is moving to a Saturday morning slot to allow more people to attend and use this service.
Please check the Arnside Broadsheet, Arnside Village Webpage or the Facebook page for the next meeting date.
Refreshments are provided by Arnside Fair Trade Cafe.
We currently have 20 volunteers who can repair a range of items including small electricals, clothing, textiles, clocks, ceramics, toys, jewellery, mechanical and wooden items. All electrical items are PAT tested after repair. Volunteers from the charity AbilityNet are also available help with software problems on laptops, phones and tablets such as memory, backing up photos or speeding up a slow computer.
Donations are taken for replacement parts, such as batteries and bulbs and to help towards other running costs.
Please e mail to check that we have a repairer who can look at your item or to book an item into the next Repair Cafe
