Wokingham Repair Café

Free
Launched in April 2024, the Wokingham Repair Café is held on the second Saturday of the month from 10am to 1pm at All Saints Church Church in Wokingham.
Repair Cafés are free community-centred workshops where people can bring things in need of repair in order to work together with volunteers to make good their broken or faulty items.
A Repair Café contributes to a sustainable, thriving community, where repair expertise is valued and passed on, where raw materials are used in a responsible way and where people can meet and get to know one another. We don’t have to contribute to the huge amount of waste in our throw-away society! Far too many things get thrown away unnecessarily.
The Wokingham Repair Café is run by volunteers with a team of ‘fixers’. Items are weighed to keep a tally on how much is saved from landfill, and at the end of each session, the team will calculate and report CO2 emission savings resulting from product repairs!
