Line 24:
* '''A way to learn and teach new skills''' - Our members provide [[Induction|inductions]] and other training on most of our equipment, as well as [[workshops]] to demonstrate and teach new skills
* '''A place to work collaboratively on [[projects]] with friends''' - We provide a venue for groups of members to meet up and work on projects that would otherwise be hard to arrange.
* '''A way to get access to equipment that individuals normally can't''' - Because of our location in an industrial area and our wide membership we're often able to provide tools an equipment that can't be used in a domestic setting or which are too expensive for one person to buy.

* '''A pay-as-you-go workshop''' - Although we're very flexible on membership contributions and require no long term commitments, we do expect that being an rLab member is an ongoing process of contributing to the lab. Contributing only when you want to make use of the lab's facilities is discouraged.
Line 32 ⟶ 33:
* '''A tool hire centre''' - Our tools are kept at the hackspace and are not loaned out to members.
* [https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08l581p '''The Repair Shop'''] - Fixing things and avoiding waste is very much a part of our ethos, but we do not provide a repair service to the public outside of [[Events/repaircafe|repair cafe events]]. People wanting to repair stuff are very welcome to become members and get full access to all our facilities. If you join up, we'll help '''you''' fix it, but we won't fix it for you.
* '''A youth training or childcare center''' - Members are welcome to [[Policy/visitorsandchildren|bring one child or guest]] with them, but only legal adults over 18 years old can be members or take part in most activities at rLab. This is for insurance, data protection, and safeguarding reasons.
