Watford Repair Café

Every fix has a story behind it

Behind every mended toaster, patched-up bike and rescued lamp is a person, a volunteer, and twenty minutes of working it out together. This is where we share those moments.

Born out of Watford’s Great Big Green Week

The Repair Cafe grew out of South West Herts’ wider sustainability work, with early support from Veolia and Watford Borough Council. What began as an idea to keep useful things out of landfill has become a monthly gathering of neighbours, volunteers and a lot of tea.
