We had such a fantastic time hosting our pop-up Repair Café at Solihull United Reformed Church! A huge thank you to everyone who came along with their broken items. Thanks to our amazingly talented volunteer repairers, we talked to so many people, fixed a few items along the way, and kept them out of landfill! ♻️💚 Special thanks to the Solihull United Reformed Church team for opening their doors to us and providing such a warm, welcoming venue (and lovely refreshments!).

🧸 Doubly Special Repair Story! 🧸

We love seeing unique items at Solihull Repair Cafe, but this pair holds a special place in our hearts! These two sentimental singing teddy bears came to us completely silent and out of action.

Thanks to a bit of TLC and fix-it magic from our amazing volunteers, they’re back on their feet and duet-ing once again to the "Teddy Bears' Picnic"!

Check out the video to hear them in action.
Got a cherished item with sentimental value that needs bringing back to life? Bring it along to our next session!

5 YEARS OF FIXING:
Our Impact! We are celebrating a major milestone! For 5 years, our local Repair Café has been a hub and community spirit.

While we love the chats and the tea, the numbers tell an even bigger story. Since we opened our doors, we have successfully repaired so many items!
What does that mean for the planet? By choosing to repair instead of replace, our community has saved an estimated:
