<div>Help Fund Kidbrooke Repair Café — Keeping Useful Things in Use
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I started <strong>Kidbrooke Repair Café</strong> in March 2025 after visiting several repair cafés across London and realising there was no similar service available in my local area.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For over a year, I have been running free repair sessions at <strong>Kidbrooke Community Hub</strong>, where local residents can bring broken household items — such as lamps, kettles, clothes, toys, and small electronics — and learn how to repair them instead of throwing them away.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Website: <a href="https://rc.jsonsingh.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">rc.jsonsingh.com</a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every repair helps households save money, reduces waste, and builds practical skills while bringing neighbours together through a shared passion for fixing things.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Some of our notable repairs so far include:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>A printer brought back into use
</li>
<li>Two laptops repaired
</li>
<li>Several lamps fixed
</li>
<li>An old toy restored by replacing its battery
</li>
<li>Many other smaller repairs that have prevented useful items from being discarded
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As the range and complexity of repairs continues to grow, we need additional tools, safety equipment, insurance support, and materials to help us run higher-quality repair sessions and reach more people.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So far, Kidbrooke Repair Café has received:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>£20 in donations from a successful repair
</li>
<li> £75 from GCDA towards the initial setup costs
</li>
<li>Over £100 contributed personally to keep the sessions running
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have now created this small fund to help Kidbrooke Repair Café grow sustainably.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What your support will fund</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We need the right tools and equipment to run safe, reliable, and effective repair sessions:
</div>

</div>
<div><strong>Total fundraising target: £2,000</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Building repair skills in the community</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Alongside repair sessions, I have collected a few donated broken items that can be used for learning workshops.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Future workshops could include:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Basic laptop upgrades such as changing memory or storage
</li>
<li>Installing Linux and extending the life of older computers
</li>
<li>Safe approaches to repairing household appliances
</li>
<li>Introduction to electronics and soldering
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The aim is not just to repair items, but to share knowledge and help people become more confident repairing things themselves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How you can help</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Kidbrooke Repair Café is run by volunteers and hosted free of charge in the café area of <strong>Kidbrooke Community Hub</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am always looking for people who are passionate about repair, sustainability, electronics, sewing, crafts, or simply helping their community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you can support us financially, your donation will directly help purchase tools and resources needed to keep the Repair Café running.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you cannot donate, you can still help by:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Sharing this fundraising page
</li>
<li>Joining us at a repair session
</li>
<li>Volunteering your skills
</li>
<li>Donating items to the repair café
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Together, we can reduce waste, save useful items from landfill, and share the joy of fixing things.
</div>
