Waltham Forest Repair Cafe

Do you have a bike sitting in your garage that you’ve been meaning to get repaired? Perhaps your favourite trousers are in need of a new waistband? Want to give that blouse you love a new lease of life? Or maybe you have an old item of furniture that you can’t bear to part with but is in need of a spruce up?

North London Waste Authority is excited to be launching a new series of Repair Café events, to help you repair your damaged belongings and fix your broken household items for FREE. By repairing items we already own, it stops us having to buy new stuff. This has a positive impact on the environment (and our wallets) as raw materials can be preserved and items are prevented from becoming waste.

Repair Cafes are meeting places where repair specialists provide free repair consultation and training to help you mend broken or damaged household items.

Where possible, items will be fixed on the event day and the repair specialists will show you how to carry out repairs like this in the future. You will also have the opportunity to see how repairs of other items are being carried out and get inspired too.

Come along and learn repair skills to give new life to items that you would normally throw away and make them useable again.

Book your 30 minute repair time slot online. Bring along your item and work with a repair specialist to fix your broken bike, mend your damaged or worn item of clothing or repair or upcycle a small piece of furniture. It’s all for free.
