About us -
We are a group of like-minded people who have been brought together by Rushmoor Voluntary Services.  We meet once a month to repair a variety of items from textiles, bicycles, clocks, electrical items and furniture – amongst a host of other items!  Our team has a passion to get things working for you again - to save you money and avoid sending items to land fill – in the hope of reducing carbon emissions and helping the environment.[top]

Opening times - Next event -
Repair cafe sessions are held once a month on the third Saturday at the West End Center, Aldershot, from 10:30am to 1:30pm, with last repair registrations at 1pm.  All registration is done on the day and there is no need to pre-book but - please note the miscrowave repair conditions above.  We register one item per customer at a time (see our T&Cs).  Enjoy a cup of tea or coffee whilst you wait for your repair !, you can watch the repair process and talk to your repairer about what is done to your broken item.[top]

The West End Center is located at 48 Queens Rd, Aldershot GU11 3JD. (Tel. 01252 408040).  It can be found on Google maps here.  We are an accessible venue with ramps at the front, and car park entrances for wheel chair access.  Please contact the West End Centre for full details.

Following completion of all the various regulatory requirements we are pleased to say that we have been fully registered by The Charity Commission #1204864.  To continue our good work, we are interested in hearing from any organisations who would be able to support us into the future.  Please email our for further information, or should you wish to make a donation please contact our .[top]
