Repair Café

If you need something repaired, we can fix it! Come with something to repair or a good appetite for some of our tasty cakes! We have amazingly skilled volunteers keen to pass on their skills and knowledge. We have skills in IT, electrical, needlecraft, woodwork, jewellery, clocks, bikes, teddy bears and general DIY. We will have a go at any repair and if we can’t fix it, we will give advice on how to get a repair. Come and see us! We welcome financial donations, but as a charity (Kirkby Lonsdale Community Cupboard), we make no charge for any repairs. It is through kind donations and bids for funding that we are able to run and help our community.
