The Telford Repair café is a volunteer organisation protecting and safeguarding the environment for the public benefit through the promotion of repair and re-use of products as a means of preventing and minimising waste.
We currently move around community sites in Telford offering the opportunity for people to come along with items for repair and for our volunteers to understand if or how they can be repaired often leading to a repair there and then.
We have many volunteer opportunities that only take up 3-4 hours a month, providing a chance to make a real difference to communities and the environment.
We are looking for volunteers with repair skills whether in sewing, electrical, IT or just someone who likes to be challenged by a need for something to work or be functional again.
Alternatively you might be someone wanting to develop your skills through watching and being mentored by other volunteer repairers.
We are also looking for people that can give a few hours a month to admin, registration, volunteer support or marketing all of these roles being valuable to the future success of the Telford Repair Cafe.
To join us you need to be passionate about making a difference to the community and environment through repair. Bringing your love of the environment, life or work experiences and skills to make a difference, we can match your skills to our volunteer opportunities.
We currently travel across different communities in Telford on the last Saturday of the month. This means Repair and Registration volunteering would be currently once a month on a Saturday, but there is no requirement for you to be there every month, just when you can.
Volunteer admin, volunteer support and help with marketing can be to fit in with your time.
We are in discussion to have a permanent site in Telford which will provide other alternative dates/times to be involved at the Telford Repair Cafe.
