Join us at St Margaret's House for our Repair Cafe!

We'll help you mend and repair items including:

Clothes, hats and bags - our volunteers will guide you through mending skills such as how to sew on a missing or loose button, hemming tricks and tips for alterations, and how to repair small holes. If you need a specific colour of fabric or thread and you have that, please bring it with you. Please bring spare buttons and if you need a new zip, please buy that and bring it with you.

Small electrical appliances - our volunteer electrician will look at small household electrical appliances and either help you mend it or recommend what can be done with it. If it needs a new plug, please bring one with you.

IT equipment - bring in any items that don't work as well as they used to, or any IT issues you're facing, and our volunteer will do their best to help resolve the issue or recommend solutions.

== Hosted by Tower Hamlets Repair Cafes ==

Tower Hamlets Repair Cafes started at St Margaret's House in September 2023. Repair Cafes happen across the year at St Margaret's House, the Yurt Cafe and Poplar Union on the last Saturday of the month (no Repair Cafes in May, August and December).

St Margaret’s House (SMH) is a community Arts and Wellbeing Centre in Bethnal Green, East London. We believe in the transformative power of the arts and community connection to impact people’s physical and mental health and wellbeing. Repair is one of our core values and we are delighted to coordinate the Tower Hamlets Repair Cafes.
