We are community-led. Our Board of Trustees follow the lead set by our members, usually at each Annual General Meeting by means of a vote. Our members (join here, free) set our direction and can remove\appoint Trustees.
A group of us got together in 2022 to plan a pilot test – six repair cafés, once a month (April to September) in two adjacent venues
It was a great success so we decided to become a charity: here is our
UK Charity Commission Register Entry After lots of discussion and thought, we decided, as a non-profit Charitable Incorporated Organisation, to describe our governing mission as the protection and preservation of the environment for the public benefit by:
A) THE PROMOTION OF REPAIR AND RE-USE TO THE PEOPLE OF THE LONDON BOROUGH OF HARINGEY
B) ADVANCING THE EDUCATION OF THE PUBLIC ABOUT ALL ASPECTS OF REPAIR & RE-USE
Our Repair Cafés are open generally at a community centre near you on Saturdays over a lunchtime, once per month at each venue. Here’s a selection of what people have brought in for help repairing.
Here’s a snapshot of some of our repair data, showing how much has been fixed so far.
Here is a list of all our forthcoming Repair Cafés. Why not step forward and work with us?
