Share your skills.
Make a difference.
Windsor Repair Café is powered by volunteers. Whether you can mend, make, organise, welcome visitors or simply lend a hand, we would love to hear from you.
Help us repair more and throw away less.
Our volunteers are at the heart of Windsor Repair Café. They give their time, knowledge and practical skills to help local people repair belongings which might otherwise be thrown away.
You do not have to be a professional repairer to get involved. We need people with all sorts of skills, from electrical repairs, sewing and bicycles through to welcoming visitors, administration and helping each session run smoothly.
You do not need to attend every month either. If you can help occasionally, we would still be very pleased to have you as part of the team.
There is more than one way to volunteer.
We welcome experienced repairers as well as people who simply want to help us make each Repair Café session run smoothly.
Electrical & electronics
Help diagnose and repair lamps, small appliances, electrical equipment, computers and electronic devices.
Textiles & clothing
Sewing, alterations and repairs to clothing, fabrics, soft toys, bags and other textile items.
Bikes & mechanical
Help with bicycles, small mechanical items, garden tools, furniture and everyday household objects.
Specialist skills
We also welcome skills including jewellery repairs, book binding, picture restoration, framing and other specialist areas.
Welcome & organisation
Help welcome visitors, manage registrations and make sure everyone knows where to go when they arrive.
Behind the scenes
Administration, finance, health and safety, setting up, packing away and the many other jobs that keep Windsor Repair Café running.
You don't need to be an expert.
Repair Café is about sharing knowledge as much as repairing things. If you enjoy solving problems, making things work or helping people, there may be a place for you on our volunteer team.
Use your skills
Put your practical knowledge and experience to good use and share what you know with others.
Meet local people
Be part of a friendly community event and meet volunteers and visitors from across Windsor.
Help reduce waste
Every successful repair can keep another useful item in use and out of the waste stream.
