Men in Sheds and Repair Cafe

[malumbu]

I've got a few awkward things to fix, so visited Penge Men in Sheds website, to hear of the Beckenham Repair cafe. The concept of the latter is to repair and reuse rather than throw away.  I went today, It was buzzing and I was most impressed.  I'm not sure if there are nearer facilities.  I'll post on the Whats on part of the forum the next time the Repair Cafe is open.  Have others any experience in these community projects?  Are there closer ones than Penge and Beckenham?

Thanks all.  A colleague from many moons ago has joined one, and they have pretty sophisticated equipment.  I don't think they operate like a repair cafe where they do multiple small jobs.  MIS appear to do bigger community projects as well as help reduce isolation (sorry if that sounds a bit patronising, but others can maybe explain better)
