Aylesbury Wombles Repair Café

About Aylesbury Wombles Repair Café

The Aylesbury Wombles presents Aylesbury's Repair Cafe!
The Aylesbury Wombles Repair Café is a place where people can bring their broken items for repair by skilled volunteers, supporting the mantra of 'reduce, reuse, repair, recycle'. If you have a shirt that has a tear, a lawnmower that's not working, a broken table, a plushie missing an eye - Anything, really! - we hope that you head to the repair cafe to try and bring it back to life over throwing it away.
We're always looking for skilled volunteers to help as the heart of the café. If you're a Seamstresses, woodworker, mechanical engineer or qualified electrical engineers then we need you!! We're also aware of the huge array of other skills that people can bring, so if you can fix something please let us know as we'd love to look at as many ways to repair things as possible! We would also be looking for people to help with any refreshments, as well as the general running on the day.
As a volunteer, you'd be providing a huge service to the community and the environment; by supporting people who are unable to repair items themselves, helping them save money from having to buy new, keeping items out of landfill, extending their lifecycle and reducing the need for more items to be made from scratch.
Our plan is to run the café once a month on a Saturday for around 3 hours in the morning, and our venue has been supplied by the wonderful Legacy Funeral Directors, 46 Buckingham Street.
If you're interested in helping the café then please email [email protected] and keep an eye on the Aylesbury Wombles Facebook page.
