St Luke’s CARES is working with Our Future Beeston to set up a Repair Cafe for Beeston and the first session will be on Saturday (5 April 2025) running from 1-4pm.
Repair Cafés are community spaces where people can bring broken items to be fixed, enjoy a cuppa, and connect with neighbours. It’s all done free of charge, but the project needs local people to step forward to help.
Do you have something that needs fixing? An electrical item that doesn’t work anymore or some clothing that needs altering perhaps?
Do you have a skill or a smile to share? They are looking for more volunteers who can:
- Fix things – Whether you’re handy with electronics, sewing, bikes, or general repairs.
- Make a great cup of tea – Keep the kettle boiling and help create a warm, welcoming space.
- Be a friendly face – Greet visitors and help the event run smoothly.
Volunteering isn’t all giving, you will meet new people and be part of something positive.
You can share your skills (or learn new ones). And you’ll know that you are helping to reduce waste and support sustainability in Beeston.
Interested? Get in touch – we’d love to hear from you!

While you’re here, can we ask a favour?
South Leeds Life is published by a not-for-profit social enterprise. We keep our costs as low as possible but we’ve been hit by increases in the print costs for our monthly newspaper which have doubled in the last two years.
