Progress to date – as at July 2021
Since November 2017:
| No. of items fixed | No. “almost fixed” (need parts) | Saved from landfill |
| 489 | 140 | 1415 kg |
On average, our fixers and menders have fixed or ‘almost fixed’ two out of every three items brought in and saved over a tonne of items from landfill!

Please note: All our fixers are VOLUNTEERS, and there is no charge made for the fixes they do. However any donations people would like to make are welcomed to help us cover our costs (website, glues & other materials used from time to time.)
When do our Repair Cafes happen?
Our Repair Cafes are (usually!) held on the second Sunday of every month from March to December, 2-5 pm, but in 2021 we started in January and had another one scheduled for 14th February which unfortunately had to be cancelled due to lockdown. Since then restrictions have limited our sessions to March, April, May and July.
This year’s Repair Cafe dates:
Sunday 14th November (Restrictions permitting)
Sunday 12th December
