Repair Café Summer Break

Our Repair Café is taking a break during July and August.

A huge thank you to all our fantastic volunteer repairers!
Over the past year, our Repair Café tinkerers have helped 199 people repair everything from electrical items and clothing to toys, bikes and household goods.

You've earned a well-deserved break after a busy season!
Thank you also to everyone who has visited and supported this wonderful community initiative.

We'll be back on Sunday 27th September, ready to help give your broken belongings a new lease of life and keep more items out of landfill.

Wishing everyone a happy and relaxing summer,we look forward to welcoming you back in September!

This lawn mower's blade flew off due to a broken bearing on the belt. The fault was diagnosed and the customer advised to order the necessary parts before returning to complete the repair.

Repair Café this Sunday 31st May!

Got something damaged at home? Don’t bin it, bring it along and let our volunteer tinkerers see if they can fix it with you.

From small repairs to getting your lawnmower ready for the warmer weather (not a heatwave!), we’ll do our best to help.

Alongside our repair café today, Friends of Stretford Public Hall is hosting a Family thrift Market. Come over to find some quality second hand goods at bargain prices.

Come on over to the hall to buy quality second hand family and kids items today from 10am-1pm. Entrance is free but we suggest a donation of £1 to help support the hall to keep running great community events.

Our Stretford Repair Café tinkerers will also be on site from 10am-12pm so if you have anything that needs fixing, bring it along!

Come along on Sunday 26th April to our Repair Café!

Bring along your broken or damaged items and give them a second life.

We’ll be offering:
General Repairs – chairs, toys, handles, small household items
Textile Repairs – torn clothes, missing buttons, broken zips
Electronics Repairs – lamps, cables, small electrical items

It’s getting warmer, which is lovely thanks to the bright spring, but you can also do your bit for the planet by repairing with help from our volunteers instead of binning things.

Come along and see what can be fixed!
