Horsforth Repair Cafe
Do you have an item that needs a fix rather than throwing away?
We aim to fix items that may be broken and can range from clothing, jewellery, electronic equipment, garden equipment, children’s toys, tv remotes, fans, electrical etc – basically anything we will try and have a go at repairing. Please note that due to the hall being unsuitable we are NOT able to fix bikes etc.
The repair cafe is completely free and staffed by volunteers! We will repair all items for free and we only ask for donations to assist with room hire / consumables etc. If you have any parts that are needed we may charge for these (if we supply them) but will charge at cost only and fit them for free. If you have your own parts we will fit them for free at a cafe!
Please note we now accept Cash and CARD PAYMENT!
A few guidelines on bringing stuff to be repaired:
1. Wash clothes if possible before bringing. Please no underwear!
2. Empty drip trays, crumb trays etc, so we don’t make a mess – we may not fix devices if they are dirty or full of water / grease
3. If you’re bringing hi-fi equipment, bring a CD, record, speaker, headphones etc. to test it with.
If you’d like to volunteer, feel free to ask any questions via email or at the event. We are always interested in meeting new fixers and organisers!
Please note that we are unable to fix the following due to our insurance requirements
– [ ] Air fryers
– [ ] Dishwashers
– [ ] Water coolers
– [ ] Air conditioners
– [ ] Microwaves
– [ ] Ice makers
– [ ] Water heaters
– [ ] Fan heaters
– [ ] Pressure cookers
We aim to repair items as quickly as possible (subject to demand and fixer availability), we ask you to wait with your item whilst it is being fixed and there will be refreshments available too!
Just come along from 1pm on the 4th (please do not arrive before 1pm to enable the fixers and helpers set up).
Many thanks for supporting this great local initiative!
