Pemberton and SLRD Area C's First Repair Café

Have something that needs to be repaired?

Whether it's missing buttons, a crooked stool, a broken photo frame or jewelry with a wacky clasp, bring it to the Repair Café! Over tea and a snack, skilled volunteers will help you through the repair for free! 

What kinds of things can be repaired

Our skilled volunteers should be able to repair...

• Bikes
• Furniture (broken stools, chairs, picture frames, etc.)
• Sewing, patching holes and tears in shirts & jeans
• Jewelry (missing clasps, broken necklaces or earrings)
• Extensions cords that need new ends or repaired wire
• Tools that need a new cord or handle
• Cordless tools that need to be fixed
• Wooden boxes that need pieces put back on
• Toys and board games
• And more, depending on the individual skills of our volunteers

Goals of the Repair Café

1. To bring back repair into local society in a modern way;
2. To maintain repair expertise and to spread this knowledge;
3. To promote social cohesion in the local community by connecting neighbours from very different backgrounds and with different motives through an inspiring and low-key event.

We are looking for volunteers to help make Pemberton's Repair Café a success. 

• Can you fix small appliances, sew or mend? 
• What about repairing jewelry, small furniture, toys? 
• Would you like to teach people how to repair their items in a relaxed and fun atmosphere?

Volunteer fixers are the backbone of the program. Without them, it wouldn't be possible!
