Shrewsbury Repair Café hosts an event each month where members of the public bring broken or non-working household items in to be repaired by a team of volunteers repairers. 

Repairers can have a range of skills, experience and abilities. For those showing a long-term commitment to the Shrewsbury Repair Café, there may be an opportunity for skills training courses to be funded.

Repairers are expected to be courteous to all those attending the Repair Café and abide by all policies and procedures of the Shrewsbury Repair Café.  There will be dialogue with members of the public as they are encouraged to be part of the repair process, so may observe or help in any repair.   Shrewsbury Repair Cafe place great emphasis on being a warm and friendly event

All volunteers are asked, where possible, to assist in setting up the monthly event at the venue and returning the room back to normal use following the event.

The venue has full disabled access and facilities, free on-site parking for those attending the Repair Café and refreshments are provided throughout the day.

What skills do I need?

The Shrewsbury Repair Café has an electronics/small appliance team, sewing and textile team, mechanical team, miscellaneous team and antiques team. Volunteer Repairers should be able to show some aptitude to work within one of those teams or be able to bring a new skill or experience into the team.

For those with limited skill or experience, you will need to demonstrate a desire and ability to learn a new skill alongside a more experienced repairer.
