Balsall Heath Repair Cafe
The Old Print Works, and partner organisations in Balsall Heath and our local community include people with wide ranging skills and experience. This, with a focus on sustainability saw the start of Balsall Heath Repair Cafe.
Delayed a bit by the Covid Pandemic, we have been able to setup a Repair Cafe at The Old Print Works. All the menders offer their skills and knowledge on a voluntary basis – and with the concept of sharing skills and confidence in making safe repairs at home to your household items.
Saving on landfill, saving old items from needing to be thrown away, and enjoying the sharing of skills between all – building relationships, having fun and learning new things.
