Local residents are being invited to bring their broken items to be mended for FREE on Friday 11th July at the Cambridge Museum of Technology, which is holding a Repair Cafe in partnership with local community charity Abbey People.

Repairs will be carried out by experienced volunteer repairers who will work their magic on a wide range of items from small household appliances to clothes and other textiles, electronic items, bikes, jewellery, and much more.

The event is ideal for people who want to save money and do their bit for the environment at the same time. It is also good fun, with opportunities to socialise over hot drinks, cakes and biscuits, which will all be available on the day.

Repairs are FREE, and donations are welcome to support more Repair Cafe and climate action events in Abbey. We recommend booking your item in, as there will only be a few walk in slots on the day You can book your item in for repair at https://forms.gle/U5ALUnGGUELx9TjS9
