V Repair is a student-led volunteer project group under V Team - the University's largest student volunteer group.
Across the academic year, V Repair partners up with local charity Share & Repair to deliver regular Repair Cafes on campus. Repair Cafes are an amazing service, open to all students and staff, where items can be repaired and given a longer lease of life. This supports the student communtiy with the cost of living and helps save the planet through a reduce, repair and reuse philosophy.
Whether it's a faulty electical item (toasters, lamps) or torn and worn out clothing, expert volunteer repairers from Share & Repair are on hand to mend anything that needs it and give you tips on repairing items.
Items can be repaired for free if students are low on personal funds, but donations to Share & Repair are very welcome. Donations help keep the Repair Cafes running on campus and ensure the student community continues to have access this brilliant service.
