Repair Cafe events and training
In the reporting period Repair Cafe Winchester ran 21 repair cafe events in Winchester, held across three different venues. We have had over 400 local people bring their broken household items to the repair cafe. Our team of volunteers have diagnosed and, where possible, repaired items, seeking to share their knowledge and skills with visitors as they go.
Furthermore, the charity has held training sessions for our volunteers to ensure basic safety measures are understood, to provide opportunities to improve knowledge and learn new skills, and to foster a supportive Summary of the main activities volunteering environment. undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these To undertake these activities we have purchased equipment and objects (include within this consumables as required. section the statutory declaration that trustees have Talks and support had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity We have promoted share, repair and re-use by giving talks and Commission on public benefit)
We have promoted share, repair and re-use by giving talks and presentations, and attending various community events to promote the repair movement, including:
-
Sharing our journey and experience with sustainability groups interested in setting up their own repair cafes
-
Attending a local music event to promote musical instrument repairs
Community cohesion
Our cafe events provide a welcoming space for local people to gather and meet new people. We have many returning visitors who value both the skills we offer and personal connection with others.
Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)
Volunteers’ time, skills and efforts are invaluable and are key to the success of the cafe. In December 2024, we sent out a volunteer survey to capture our volunteers’ experiences of the cafe and to ask how we could improve the repair cafe both for volunteers and visitors. Wherever possible, we seek to offer thanks to our volunteers through informal conversations, written communication and activities such as providing a thank you breakfast at key milestones.
