Repairer

The Kingswood Repair Café brings together people who like fixing things and people who need a helping hand. Run by volunteers, the café helps save items from landfill, supports neighbours and creates a welcoming community space in Kingswood.

Our Repair Café is run entirely by volunteers, and we’re always keen to welcome new people to the team. Whether you enjoy fixing things, chatting to people, or helping behind the scenes, there’s a role for you.

🔧 Repairer

Repairers are at the heart of the Repair Café. In this role, you’ll use your practical skills to help repair everyday items and keep them in use for longer.

What you’ll do:

• Assess and repair items brought in by the public, where possible
• Explain what you’re doing and share advice with item owners
• Let people know honestly if an item can’t be repaired or needs parts

We’re particularly interested in people with skills in small electrical items, clothing and textiles, furniture and bikes — but you don’t need to know everything, and you’ll never be expected to work outside your comfort zone.
