Tattenhall Repair cafe will be a monthly event in a rented room where household equipment which would otherwise be landfilled can be simply repaired, reducing consumption and waste
It is planned to be held monthly. Repairs will be done by volunteers. Repairs are expected to be simple and would be done on equipment of generally low value where commercial repair would be uneconomic. There would be no fee, though donations will be welcome. Refreshments will be offered while repairs are happening. The benefits of the project are - reduction in landfill, reduction in consumption, increased community resilience and encouraging local links. Electrical repairs will be PAT tested before completion, there will be public liability insurance and disclaimer. But experience of other repair cafes is that liability is not generallly a problem. Funding is needed for room hire, consumables, insurance and PAT equipment and training. It is an option to save costs to not do electricals, but not preferred. We will depend on the expertise and goodwill of Tattenhall people willing to volunteer for 3 hours a month. Preliminary survey indicates there will be sufficient volunteers
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
The project will particularly benefit those in Tattenhall who may find it unaffordable to replace broken appliances and equipment. Although there are rich people in Tattenhall, many are struggling, and many are in-between. In the wider village a beacon of reuse and sustainability will provide encouragement to others who may be wanting to do practical action

Thank you to everyone who backed, pledged and liked Tattenhall Repair Cafe. The community support has been outstanding. It impressed CWAC. And they have pledged £560. This has now met our funding target and the project can go ahead. Funding is still open for the moment as there are some extras that will make the repair cafe even better and that we hope will be funded. But in the meantime thank you everyone, you have been great, your support means a lot to us all in Transition Tattenhall. And look forward to the first repair cafe in July!
Brilliant news, thanks everyone!
