Repair Cafe Great Shelford 12 February

2G3S (Green Groups in the Shelfords, Stapleford and Sawston) are pleased to announce a Repair Cafe to be held on Saturday 12 February 2022 from 2 -4.30 pm at Great Shelford Free Church, Ashen Green, Great Shelford, Cambridge CB22 5EY.

It’s a free event (donations very welcome) where we match amazing repairers with people who need stuff fixing.

Bring along the following to be repaired and to pick up repair skills:

jewellery / jewellery cleaning, sewing repairs (clean items only please), small household appliances and electrical items, sewing machines, computers, bicycles, and general bits’n’bobs.

You can turn up with your broken item on the day, but we’re usually very busy so it’s best to book it in at

https://cambridgecarbonfootprint.org/events/great-shelford-repair-cafe-2/

from 1 – 9 February inclusive.  The repairers are brilliant and can fix most things but there are no guarantees.  Tea and cake available of course!

New feature: Recycling of small electrical items

During the event we will have a recycling bin for small electrical items which are beyond repair, so that they can be used for parts or broken down and recycled.  This can be used both for items that we’ve looked at in the Repair Café,  and for others that you wish to bring along to recycle.  Most small items with a plug or a battery will be accepted, including:

• Electronic toys
• Kettles or toasters
• Hairdryers or straighteners
• Cables and plugs
• Lamps
• Power tools
• Printers

We’re sorry but we won’t be able to take smoke alarms, damaged batteries, ammonia fridges, pressurised cylinders, laptops or screens, or items larger than 40cm in their biggest dimension.

See you there!
