Hounslow Repair Cafe

This is a fantastic opportunity to get broken household items repaired by skilled volunteers for free! Bring along bikes, small electrical appliances, clothing, and textiles, and give them a second life instead of sending them to the landfill.

 Heston Repair Café, in partnership with team.repair, is also hosting a free hands-on session for children to learn how to fix a game console! Spaces are limited, so early booking is recommended.

To book a place for your child, email: hestonrepaircafe@gmail.com
