Every first Saturday of the month, the community of Horsforth comes together for a remarkable gathering at St Margaret’s Church—the Leeds Repair Cafe, Horsforth branch. It’s not just any cafe; it’s a place where broken items are given a second life, and where sustainability meets skill. Here’s why you should mark your calendar and join us at this unique event.
What Happens at the Leeds Repair Cafe?
At the heart of Horsforth, the Leeds Repair Cafe is more than just a monthly meet-up; it’s a movement. Whether it’s a beloved jumper, a cherished piece of jewellery, your essential household gadgets or even garden tools, if it’s broken, we’ll take a look. Our talented volunteers tackle everything from electronics to children’s toys. While we currently don’t handle bike repairs due to logistical reasons, we are equipped to handle almost anything else you can carry in.
Why Bring Your Items to the Repair Cafe?
Reduce Waste and Save Money: Before you think of throwing away a broken item, bring it to us. Not only could you save the item and your money, but you also help reduce waste, one repair at a time.
Learn Repair Skills: It’s not just about fixing things; it’s about learning how to fix them. Our volunteers share their knowledge, giving you tips and tricks to tackle simple repairs at home.
Community Connection: The Repair Cafe is a fantastic way to meet people in your community who share a passion for sustainability and DIY. It’s a social event as much as a practical one!
