At the Gillingham Repair Café we can help diagnose and potentially repair your items, saving them from being thrown away, and restoring your tech, saving you ££ replacing them.

At Repair Café, you can witness first-hand that making repairs is possible. And discover that it’s a skill you can learn too! But Repair Café is not only educational. More than anything, it's fun; at a Repair Café there is always something to do and someone to talk to. Will you drop by? https://www.repaircafe.org/en/visit/
