Repair Cafe Update - what have we fixed?

Each repair cafe we keep a careful log of which repairs we’ve done - those that have been successful and those that haven’t. We do this so we can share the data with the wider Repair Cafe network on collaborative sites like https://www.restarters.net/ and https://openrepair.org/how-to-get-started/ which aim to use data to help raise the profile of repairing.

As we have the info, I thought it might be of interest to share it here so you can see a list of the repairs that our fixers have carried out so far… and maybe be inspired to bring along something you’d like to see fixed?
