Chailey Repair Cafe (UK) comes up with an innovation, to continue repairing in corona time. Be inspired by the article below, which we received from Bryan McAlley, founder and coordinator of Chailey Repair Cafe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A ‘drop off’ service during lockdown<\/h3>\n

Although we have had to close our physical Repair Cafe this spring, Chailey Repair Cafe<\/a>‘s talented volunteers have been hard at work offering repair advice\u00a0online\u00a0as well as a “drop it on our doorstep” service.<\/p>\n

The way that it normally works is that people email us their repair request. We then put this request\u00a0out to our volunteers and anyone close to\u00a0the\u00a0customer who is prepared to take it on agrees to do so. They then make contact with the\u00a0customer and tell\u00a0them their address.\u00a0The\u00a0customer then drops the item on their doorstep and\u00a0receives an email when it’s fixed. It’s then collected and we invite\u00a0the\u00a0customer to make a donation toward the Cafe… That’s all there is to it!!<\/p>\n

Nearly 200 repairs<\/h3>\n

Since lockdown, we have taken on nearly 200 repairs,\u00a0including\u00a0a washing machine, Sony CD player, Kenwood Chef, an internet connection, quad bike, TV, Flymo, dehydrator, hoover, pressure washer, sewing machine, clock, printer, floor lamp, a huge teddy bear and much more. It’s pretty much what we usually do, but in a different way.<\/p>\n

People\u00a0have been incredibly\u00a0generous and we have now taken nearly \u00a32000 in donations which\u00a0we will be using to fund\u00a0storage units for our new\u00a0location (a church) in 2021.<\/p>\n

Keep your Repair Cafe in the public eye<\/h3>\n

The drop off service is easy to administer, keeps your Repair Cafe in the public eye and is very much appreciated by the local community. Try it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
