The Looe Shedders Repair Café is a community initiative to bring together people with skills to repair and those who want items repaired.
You are invited to bring your broken or damaged items for repair and our volunteers will attempt to fix them.
Not only are you likely to get an item repaired, but it is possible you will learn how things are made and
how to repair them yourself.
Think Do-It-Together rather than Do-It-Yourself.
Events last two hours and show that, with just a bit of guidance, most people can repair the broken things they have at home.
This is a great way to extend the ‘life’ of your possessions, save money and reduce waste.
The great news is that by repairing we save money, resources, reduce our CO2 emissions and have a lot of fun and satisfaction along the way.
The Looe Shedders Repair Cafe is run by volunteers, with donations going towards the running costs which allow us to keep the monthly sessions going.
But do please note that we are not professional miracle workers and some repairs will be beyond our capabilities.
We are part of the Cornwall Repair Café Network.
