Repair Café a huge success!

13 January 20228 May 2019 by Sally

Our first Repair Café on 27th April was a resounding success. Over 100 items were brought, and half of them were either repaired on the spot or taken away to repair. People consumed delicious tea and home-made cakes while they waited their turn to sit with the volunteer repairers and watch their skilled assessments of the jobs they were brought.

A huge thank you to all our volunteers!

Don’t miss our next one on Saturday 15th June!
