Stretford Repair Café
Got something that's broken? Don’t bin it – bring it! Head to Stretford Public Hall on the last Sunday of every month, from 10am to 12pm, for this Repair Café.
The team of skilled volunteers can help support you to fix a range of items – from small electricals and household gadgets to clothes and more. It’s a great way to reduce waste, learn new skills, and connect with your local community over a cuppa.
No need to book – just drop in! It's strongly recommended that you arrive by 10am to make sure there's enough time for you to be seen.
Repairs are free, but donations are welcome to help keep the café running.
To find out more information about what repairs will be possible at each café, please check our Stretford Public Hall's socials or give them a call on 0161 989 1689. The Repair Café is run entirely by volunteers and they can’t guarantee that all types of repairs will be possible each month.
