At Repair Café Highley, we’re more than just a place to fix things—we’re a community of volunteers passionate about sustainability, skill-sharing, and making a difference. Below, you’ll find images of our team in action, repairs being undertaken, and feedback from those who’ve experienced our services.
Who We Are: Our volunteers are the heart of the Repair Café Highley. From skilled repairers to organisers behind the scenes, every person plays a vital role in keeping our community repair sessions running smoothly. Whether it's fixing a broken kettle, restoring a beloved piece of furniture, or simply offering friendly advice, our team is here to help.
"I had a broken lamp sitting in my cupboard for months. The volunteers at Repair Café Highley fixed it in minutes—what a fantastic service!"
"Many thanks to Dave and Mike at the Repair Cafe today who fixed my trusty old CD player, quickly diagnosed and sorted. You're a wonderful bunch and deserve the highest praise for providing the service."
"Thanks to the Highley Repair Cafe for fixing my beard trimmer. It was failing to charge and I was about to throw it away and buy another. Turns out it just needed opening up and given an internal clean. Now it's good as new that's good news for the environment and £30-40 saved."
"I dropped something in at the Repair Cafe on Saturday and stopped for a cup of tea and a biscuit. Not only was it great socially, as there were a few friends there getting things repaired, but it was also an eye-opening to see what the volunteers were doing! A clock that hadn't worked for ages was made to work again. A kettle, a bike, a strimmer and a TV Freeview box were being repaired. A rather elegant statuette was being put back together. A rocking chair was receiving some TLC, and someone was also repairing jeans. It was done while I was there, there must have been loads more worked on before I arrived and after I left! Hats off to the volunteers and organisers. A fabulous idea!!!
"Thanks Repair Cafe for adjusting my son's bike brakes."
