Do you have a device you’d like to repair?

Take it to a repair café and learn how to fix it! Repair Week is a national initiative which celebrates and promotes the value of repairing items rather than throwing them away. It brings together communities; repair cafes; libraries; schools; local authorities and volunteers to highlight practical repair skills and encourage people to rethink waste.
