Cardiff – Rhiwbina

A free volunteer-run repair cafe where locals bring broken items to be fixed while enjoying tea and coffee with neighbours.

Volunteer repairers attempt to fix broken or damaged items brought by the public, free of charge, while visitors wait over tea or coffee. Typical repairs include basic bicycle maintenance, electrical appliance repair, computing assistance, sewing, ornament repair and woodworking, though microwaves are excluded for safety. Repairers will also show visitors how fixes are done, and more volunteer fixers are welcome to come along.
