Whiteinch Centre Repair Cafe
VO105787

The Whiteinch Centre is launching a Repair Café pilot project—and we need to build our team!
Repair Cafes are free volunteer-led events where anyone can bring broken household items, and skilled volunteers try best to fix them. There are over 50 Repair Cafes in Scotland, and 2000 internationally, but no Repair Cafes in West Glasgow - until now!
Whether you’re skilled in:
Textiles
Small electricals
General repairs
Bicycles
Love greeting peopke and creating a welcoming environment
Or just love fixing things in general!
You can help your community, share your skills, and keep items out of landfill.
We’re running a series of Repair Cafés over the next year—so there are plenty of opportunities to get involved.
Sign up here: https://forms.gle/A7ofTRv2YYY468zv6
Apply today to be part of something practical, social, and impactful.
If you are interested, please click the ‘Apply’ button below (available when logged in and registered). The coordinator will then contact you by email or phone call. If you have not heard back after 5 working days, the first step is to contact the organisation with the contact details provided. You could also check your junk/spam folder for your emails, just in case the response is there. If that doesn’t work out, then please feel free to contact Volunteer Glasgow at [email protected]
