Welcome to Burwell Repair Cafe
Ten Repair Cafes completed, and we are making a difference!
5370kg of carbon emissions have been prevented by the 250 successful repairs carried out.
57% of the items presented to our amazing volunteers have been repaired.
Only 45 of 453 items were considered to be unrepairable!
That is equivalent to the amount of CO2 saved by growing 86 tree seedlings for 10 years, or driving about 13,5000 miles or charging over 300,000 smartphones!
In addition to Repair Cafes, the group has also started running SWISH! events to encourage recycling and reuse of clothing and fabrics. For more information about the next Burwell SWISH! on 19th October 2025, click here
Booking a Repair
The next Burwell Repair Cafe will be held on Sunday 8th June 2025, from 14:00 to 17:00 in Mandeville Hall (what3words ///cones.reset.foal).
You can now book a slot to have your broken appliances assessed and, hopefully, mended at the next Burwell Repair Cafe.
The earlier you book, the more likely we are to be able to see your item.
Just complete the form below:
We will send emails with event details in the week before the Repair Cafe (at the latest), but we may also request more information about the item to assist our repairers. Emails will have 'Burwell Repair Cafe' in the subject field, so please check your junk folder.
If you make a booking, please record the date of the Repair Cafe (08/06/2025) in your diary or calendar.
Any questions: don't hesitate to email us at BurwellRepairCafe@gmail.com
Please look on our FAQ page for more information about what we do, the items that can be brought for repair, and how you can help.
Please read our Terms and Conditions before booking your repair.
If you think that you might be able to use your knowledge and skills to support our team of dedicated repairers, please let us know.
If you can't make it on that day, there are additional Repair Cafes being run in the Cambridge area. Details can be found on the Cambridge Carbon Footprint website - scroll down past the FAQs.
