Repair Cafes in Essex - Help Sought

Hi

I work in technology for Essex County Council. We're exploring the viability of supporting repair cafes in Essex as part of sustainability and the circular economy.

Can anyone offer any guidance and experience around setting these up. Or if you're Essex based, is that something you'd have the time and enthusiasm to get involved ?

I and my colleagues would love to hear from you

  • I’d be interested in getting involved in an initiative for Tendring/NE Essex - have been thinking of setting up a pop up cafe on a weekly  basis if there was enough support to cover weekly.

    Perhaps running alongside some other weekly events already running.  A number of the local churches have weekly events that might align with a repairs function.

    There are a number of vacant small retail outlets on the edge of the town centre that could be suitable for something like this.
