MARCH SPECIAL: SKILLS SHARING
Drop in anytime between 10am and 1pm to learn:
🧦 How to darn a sock
🚲 Basic bike maintenance
🪡 Simple sewing machine skills
Come along and give your tired, torn or temperamental items a new lease of life. Every fix keeps something out of landfill, strengthens local know-how, and brings neighbours together.
WHAT WE USUALLY OFFER:
Textile repairs: Zips (bring your own if a replacement is needed), buttons (please bring your own), simple alterations, darning and creative mends.
Small electrical repairs: Radios, headphones, gadgets and other small items.
Bicycle repairs: Bike checks and fixes by Baz from Pickwell Pedals.
Mechanical help: Simple fixes for household or handheld mechanical items also supported by the Braunton Men’s Shed.
All repairs are dependent on volunteer availability. If you’re unsure whether to bring something, please email us at least 48 hours before and we’ll check: [email protected]
A FEW NOTES:
We’re a community repair space, not a professional service, so very complex or specialist items may be better handled elsewhere.
All our repairers are volunteers and we will ask you to read and sign a disclaimer before we undertake your repair
Please stay while we work on your item. The Repair Cafe is about learning, connection and shared skills.
Donations are welcome but never expected.
Cake and hot drinks (including coffee from 51 Degrees North) are always available to keep spirits high.
WANT TO VOLUNTEER?
We’d love more helpers, whether you mend things or simply enjoy welcoming people. No professional qualifications needed, just willing hands and a friendly heart.
