Welcome
The Prestwood Repair Café is a volunteer-led initiative dedicated to bringing the community together to repair and reuse household items, reducing waste and protecting the environment. Our regular events provide a welcoming space where neighbours of all ages can learn fixing skills, share knowledge, and help keep items out of landfill. If you have nothing to repair, come along and have a chat, coffee and a slice of home made cake!
Simply bring along your broken household items, and our skilled volunteer fixers will mend them—while you enjoy a friendly chat over a cuppa. There’s no charge, but donations are welcome to help keep the initiative running. Everyone is welcome!
Repair highlights
Over 1000 repairs completed, and counting!
2025 – Repairs ongoing!
2024 – Year total 408
2023 – Year total 265
2022 – Year total 371
These figures represent repairs booked in. There are some items each month that despite our best efforts cannot be repaired. Some repair bookings such as sharpening are for multiple items but counted as one. On occasion a spare part or special tool is needed and a repair is brought back to the next event. Generally repairs are not booked in if it is clear we do not have the necessary specialist skills available.
