Our project goal was to investigate and determine characteristics of stable structures to support repair café sessions in Worcester and Ledbury, England. Using interviews, surveys, and personal investigations, we found approximate locations, demographics of interest, and potential strategies for creating the Worcester and Ledbury Repair Cafés. We developed recommendations based upon our research and a flexible formula for developing a successful repair café. Our findings should be useful to our sponsor, the University of Worcester, and the Malvern Hills Repair Café in creating these new repair cafés.
