30 November 2020 Volunteer Fixers for our Repair Cafe
The Clean Earth Trust

Do you enjoy fixing things? We are looking for volunteer fixers to help users repair their items at our Repair Cafes. The Repair Cafe is run by the Clean Earth Trust, a Guernsey based charity with a vision to limit negative human impact on the environment. Our website contains further information about the charity, our work so far and our other campaigns: https://cleanearthtrust.org. The Repair Cafe aims to provide a friendly and sociable place for anyone in Guernsey to bring items that need repair, and either work with a volunteer fixer to repair their item, or to get further information about who or how they can get an item repaired. We aim to reduce the quantity of ‘stuff’ that needlessly ends up in landfill, and promote and encourage a mending culture through skill sharing and promotion of the values and activities of the Repair Cafe across the Bailiwick. How it works Users bring their item(s) to the Repair Cafe and are matched with a volunteer with relevant skills who will try to help fix their item. Users can choose how involved they want to be in the repair; they may want to try part of the repair themselves, or prefer to just watch, but users always remain with their item. Volunteers explain to the user what they are doing and ensure that there is a good understanding about any risks involved in the repair. If the volunteer is unable to help, then we would try to give an alternative path to repair eg. referral to a professional business, online videos or manuals. Overview of role We are looking for volunteer fixers who are keen and able to investigate and repair any of the following sorts of items: Small appliances and gadgets eg. Toasters, kettles, watches, lamps Wooden items eg. Picture frames, wooden toys, small items of furniture Computer equipment eg. Computers, printers, laptops Audio and visual equipment eg. Radios, phones, TVs, DVD players Jewellery eg clasp or link repairs Porcelain and pottery eg Cracks and breaks in plates and vases Mobile phones and tablet devices eg. Cracked screens, battery replacements Clothing and textiles eg. Fixing zips, minor alterations, toy and soft furnishing repairs We are looking for volunteers who can commit to attending a minimum of one Repair Café session per month, with each session lasting 2-4 hours. Experience and skills required Experienced and comfortable fixing items, curious and persistent in finding faults and getting to the bottom of a problem ! Personable, friendly and feel comfortable talking to users. Ability to clearly communicate with users and explain what they are doing as they repair an item. Abilty to show users how to do a repair, if the user wants to learn. Ability to explain how the Repair Cafe works. It would be deirable for fixers to bring their own tools, but this isn’t essential and we can always ask our wonderful community to donate unwanted tools to support the Repair Cafe activities. If you are interested, please get in touch by emailing us at repaircafe@cleanearthtrust.org.
