Vale of Glamorgan: Repair Cafe's in the Vale of Glamorgan
Ever heard of a Repair Café?
Repair Cafés are a community-driven space where you can bring broken items. Whether it’s a bike, toaster, or your favourite pair of trousers—a skilled volunteer will help you fix them for free!
Repair Cafes not only reduce waste, but also teach you valuable repair skills that you can use in the future and help you save money.
Let’s work together to give our items a second life.
Together we can make a difference.
Monthly repair cafes run in Barry, Penarth, Llantwit Major and Cowbridge: https://repaircafewales.org/locations/
