Repair Cafe Whitstable

What do you do with a broken chair, or a woollen jumper with moth holes?
You can repair it at Repair Cafe, save money, learn new skills & avoid waste.

After much discussion we have decided not to reopen the cafe until next year. In January we will review the latest health & safety guidelines and when we feel it is safe and sensible we will restart. In the mean time do please share your repair jobs as we would love to see them!

As lockdown begins to ease the Repair Cafe team are regularly reviewing the situation. Many of our venues are still closed & we are talking to our volunteers as we would love to return when it is safe to do so. We will announce it here when we do reopen. Watch this space

Amid all the neccessary #COVID_19uk worry our #payitforward is struggling - you don't have to come in to donate, we now have an easy @PayPal link on our website https://t.co/xtnVOJtuM8

We've added a #payitforward donate button onto our website! This now means that wherever you are, you can donate.

Our #payitforward is used daily & its inclusion ensures our cafe is as open as possible to more vulnerable members of our community.

If you are running an event, or promotion and would consider donationing a % to our #payitforward so it remains sustainable for the Winter we would really appreciate any help.

Of course any little or large customer donations over the counter are as always really appreciated 🧡

[Repair Cafe Whitstable @RepairCafeWhit]

@NatashaSmasha We can help! If you ask in the Facebook event, they’ll be able to let you know which volunteers are going to be in attendance 😊 https://t.co/l52fJYZJQ0

[Repair Cafe Whitstable @RepairCafeWhit]

Lots of people are committing to renew reuse and mend this year and have a “no buying new policy” - what can you you mend to reuse or hand into someone new? Pop along to one of our cafes and see if we can help you mend something! Next date 15th February

[The Umbrella Café CIC @umbrella_cafe]
