UoC Repair Cafe community
Technical staff are generally great at problem solving and fixing things, so what better way to share skills, meet new people and do our bit for sustainability than meeting up and mending things.
Plus, of course, there will be tea/coffee and cakes.
This brand new community welcomes fixers and general volunteers of all abilities to come and have a go and learn some new skills.
Are you interested in fixing (or learning to fix):
- Electricals
- Electronics
- Bikes
- Mechanical Items
- Sharpening
- Gluing
- Sewing
- Jewellery
- Woodwork
- Upholstery
- Book Binding
- Or anything else!
In the first instance, simply let us know on this form.
Our first event is at West Hub on Thursday April 24th. This event will also be open to the public and at this stage we are looking to repair domestic appliances and items and not University equipment. We are also taking bookings for these items. The form is now live here!
*This network is linked with the wider Repair Cafe network and supported by Cambridge Carbon Footprint. Some of our volunteers are also active in this wider community outside of the University.
