How you can support us

Supporting the Repair Café Highley helps us continue to provide our donation based repairs, reduce waste, and bring the community together. There are several ways you can contribute:

Volunteering

The Repair Café is entirely run by volunteers from the local community. Whether you have strong organisational and administrative skills or are a skilled repairer, we’d love to hear from you!

Please review our Volunteer Policy to ensure it’s the right fit for you. If you’d like to get involved, feel free to contact us via email or visit us during one of our Repair Café sessions.

Tools & Materials

We’re always on the lookout for tools and materials that help us repair items effectively. If you have any spare supplies, consider donating them:

Tools:
We welcome donations of tools that can enhance our inventory for repairs. If you have any that might be suitable, please let us know.

Sewing Supplies (Cottons, Threads, Buttons, etc.):
Garment repairs often require precise colour matching. The more variety we have, the higher the quality of repairs we can provide.

Essential Consumables:
We regularly use batteries, tape, paper, pens, glues, solder, puncture repair patches, cleaning cloths, oils, tea, coffee, and more. If you can help by providing any of these, we’d be grateful.

Financial Contributions

If you’re unable to donate time or materials but would still like to support us, financial contributions help keep the Repair Café running smoothly. Donations assist with purchasing necessary tools, materials, and consumables, ensuring we can continue offering high-quality repairs for the community.

If you wish to make a donation please contact us at repaircafehighley@gmail.com

Thank you for helping us financially.

Spread the Word

If you've had a good experience at the Repair Café Highley, sharing your story can help more people discover our community-driven service. Every recommendation—whether in person or online—helps us grow and reach those who may need repairs or want to get involved.

Ways to Share Your Experience:

Tell Others: Word-of-mouth is one of the most powerful ways to support us. Let your friends, family, and colleagues know about the Repair Café and encourage them to visit or volunteer.

Social Media Support: Share your experience on Facebook, Instagram, or local community forums. Posting a photo of a repaired item or a short message about your visit can inspire others to come along.

Write a Testimonial: We’d love to hear your feedback! A short review of your visit helps us showcase the value of repairs and encourage others to take part. If you’re happy for us to feature your testimonial, let us know.

Your support goes beyond repairs—it helps promote sustainability, reduce waste, and build a stronger local network.
Thank you for spreading the word!
