The Scout Hut

26/05/2026

The Library of Requirements will be represented at this event and are looking for volunteers. I’ll also be talking about Watford-West Repair Cafe which runs at The Scout Hut in Durban Rd East

Residents are invited to connect with local causes and discover ways to get involved at an upcoming community event celebrating the vital work of charities across Watford.😃🌳

The event is being held on Saturday 6 June from 10:00am – 3:00pm outside Puttshack in Harlequin Watford 🗺️

It provides a valuable opportunity for attendees to meet charity representatives, learn more about the services and initiatives available locally, and explore how they can contribute, whether through volunteering, collaboration, or accessing support.

If you have used our Repair Café you might also be interested in a new venture which is the setting up of a Library of Things. The Watford one is called The Library of Requirements and will be opening this summer time.
At the moment we are collecting things for the library - think kitchen equipment, garden items leisure and maintenance, power tools, camping gear, instruments, games. Everything donated needs to be working and useful. Message me here if you think you have anything suitable.

We had another excellent Repair Café last Sunday. Out of 25 items brought in 16 were repaired during the afternoon and a few more will be finished off next month. The April session will take place on Sunday 26th and hopefully will include a bike repairer. To be kept in the loop do follow us on Instagram

Just wanted to update you on our first Repair Café supported by Watford Borough Council. It was a really lovely event with 14 repairs completed including a child’s bike, a wooden drawer, clothing and electricals. Well done to our repair team.
Next Café is on Sunday 29th March at 2pm.
Follow the café on Instagram

Do join us, message us if you want to volunteer offering general or specific repair skills. We would like a dedicated bike repairer and someone who can sharpen garden tools.

Come and see what happens and if you’ve got something that needs repairing bring it along. There’s no cost but we’d appreciate a donation to keep the café going.
See you Sunday from 2 - 4.45pm.
