We will provide tools, materials, and repair expertise to enable everyone to repair, no previous experience required.
Activities include:
- Bike repair (TBC),
- Plant care & repair,
- General repairs,
- Textiles and clothing repair,
- Clothes swap rail,
- Electronics repair consultation (additional booking required)
Come and get involved!
This UCL Repair Cafe session is also an opportunity for members of the UCL community to come and find out how you too can get involved in contributing to this fun, sustainable activity in future cafes. Whether you and your team have specific repair skills to add to the mix, or would just like to volunteer, please come and see us.
Please note: You will preferably need to bring along the broken item itself, or photos if that is not possible. Some repairs may need specific bookings. Check individual event listings for specific guidance.
