Repair Café
An enthusiastic group of repairers and organizers help visitors every month with their broken household goods, such as electrical appliances, clothing, clocks, furniture and bicycles (not laptops, tablets and smartphones).
The initiative is present in several municipalities in the Netherlands. In our region, you can find them in Leiden, Leiderdorp, and Voorschoten.
The volunteers have technical skills and experience are in repairing all sorts of (portable) household appliances. Visitors can bring their goods and learn from the repairers how to fix them themselves. English-speakers volunteers are welcome: the only requirement is to have some technical skills and experience in repairing! If you can't join as a volunteer, you can always visit the different Repair Café and bring your household goods to get fixed. Just be sure to arrive early and expect some waiting time - the Repair Café meet ups can be quite busy.

When: every second Saturday of the month, 1:00 PM - 3:30 PM. For the provisional calendar check their website.
