Cirencester Repair Café is a friendly community space where people can bring broken or damaged household items—like clothing, small appliances, toys, and tools—and get help from skilled volunteers who can fix them. Whether it’s a stuck zip, a lamp that won’t light, or a wobbly chair, our team is here to help—for free or a voluntary donation. It’s a great way to reduce waste, save money, and learn new repair skills. More than just mending things, the café brings people together, encourages sustainability, and helps build a more connected, resourceful community.

They also host open public meetings and maintain extensive online resources, including incident reporting, archival documents, and a library of environmental links
