Porlock Repair Cafe
A group of volunteers repairing household items for members of the community, to enable reuse and prevent things going to landfill.
About our group
We repair all kinds of household items as long as they are able to be carried into our sessions. We also run a cafeteria where people can come together and socialise, or just wait while their item is being repaired.
Many things brought to us are old and have enormous sentimental value (teddy bears, ornaments, dolls, toys etc.) as well as the practical everyday goods. On average we repair nearly 85% of everything brought to us and so far we’ve repaired over a tonne in weight of products which would otherwise have gone to landfill waste.
Our main activities are electrical and electronic (kettles, toasters, radios, vacuum cleaners, lamps, CD players, garden machinery etc.), sharpening (garden shears, secateurs, scissors, knives etc.), sewing (minor repairs, zips, seams, buttons etc.) and mechanical (clocks, garden machinery etc.).
We operate from Porlock Village Hall, Toll Road, Porlock TA24 8QD
