Don't Toss It—Fix It! 🛠️
Do you have a toaster that's lost its spark? Is your bicycle gathering dust, or a favourite t-shirt coming apart at the seams? Don't toss them out, bring them to the May Repair Café!
We are all about giving your items a second lease on life. Our skilled volunteers are ready to help you troubleshoot, fix, and learn how to maintain your belongings, keeping them out of the landfill and in use.

Here's what we're planning:
Electrical & Electronics: Household Appliances and Computers
Clothing and Textile Repairs
Garden Machinery: Lawnmowers, line trimmers, and other small petrol or electric garden engines.
General Repairs
Scissor and Knife Sharpening: (Max 1-2, sorry, no garden tools)

How it Works
To help our volunteers bring the right tools and parts, please register with a brief description of the item and the issue.
https://events.humanitix.com/repair-cafe-may26
If you haven't registered, you’re still welcome to drop in on the day.
We start at 10 AM. Please ensure items are brought in by 1 PM so our team has enough time to take a look. All items must be collected by 2 PM.
Location: ReDiscover Education Centre, Pines Resource Recovery Park, Burnham School Road.
When: Saturday, 23rd May 2026 | 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM.
This is a community-led project, not a professional repair service. Our wonderful volunteers will do their best to attempt a repair or offer advice. The organisers cannot be held liable for any loss, damage or accident arising from the repair process or from the use of the item subsequently.
