Repair Cafe Meeting

22nd January 2020 7:30 pm at The Village Centre, High Street, Chinnor, OX39 4DH

Are you interested in finding out about Repair Cafés and how you can get involved? Why not come along to our Repair Café meeting and meet up with like-minded people and help plan our next Repair Café for the 15th February. We are always looking for fixers and volunteers of all kinds and this is your opportunity to find out about it!

Our Repair Cafés are not a big commitment; our events are just 3 hours long, with some set-up and take-down on either end. It’s not expected that you come to every repair session, although some of our volunteers do – and why not, as it’s really fun! Come along on Wednesday and find out more.

Big Fix 2020 day of repair events

On Saturday 15th February, we are joining hundreds of volunteers at the 75 repair cafes that will be taking part in this world first. Never has there been a repair event attempted on this scale before.

So...

• Do you like to fix and tinker with things?
• Would you like to have a go at fixing broken household goods that folk bring into the repair café and teach them the art of repair?
• Specialist and all-round skills welcome in fixing household items such as clothing/textiles, jewellery, books, shoes, bikes, small furniture, computers, mobiles, electronics, small appliances and more!

Why not volunteer as one of our Fixers?

We would also love it if you could run a workshop on basic repair and maintenance skills. We reckon it would be great to teach people how to look after their stuff before things break or wear out.

Help Host a Repair Session

We are also looking for volunteers to provide general support at our events or behind the scene.

Tasks to help with include event planning and set-up, visitor registration, refreshments (e.g. offering coffee or baked goods around to folk), promotion/communications, photography/video, etc.

Are you a keen social media user? We’d love your assistance in promoting us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and the like, we would like to hear from you.
