Join the repair revolution!Come along any time 11am-1pm at The YMCA on Mill Street, South Molton to bring your items back to life, learn new skills, save money and the planet!
We aim to offer the following repairs:
🧵Textiles, clothing & crochet repairs (always available) - Such as replacing zips and buttons (bring your own zips and buttons), darning teddy bears, simple alterations, visible darning.
🧸 Toy repairs
💍 Basic jewellery repairs
🛠 General handyman repairs: Mechanical, electrical, woodwork
However, as we rely on volunteers, we can't always guarantee that all these skills will be available.
If you have any questions, email [email protected] at least 48 hours before the event to give us time to respond.
👉Please note:
We are not a professional repair service, so please don’t bring us ‘fancy’ repairs like wedding dresses. If you are unsure on whether to bring an item or not - please email [email protected] and we will run it by our sewing stars to see what we can do.
Donations are welcome but not expected.
💚 We'd love it if you could stay whilst we repair your items, our cafes are about building community connection and sharing skills too.

🙋♀️VOLUNTEER WITH US🙋♀️
We are always on the lookout for a few more volunteers, either to share their mending skills at the Cafes or to help out behind the scenes and welcome people on the day. You don’t need to be a professional seamstress or upholsterer or mechanic to volunteer - just someone with some basic skills who is happy to share what they know or a friendly welcoming face to help run the event. There is no pressure to undertake any repairs that you are not confident with.
Please get in touch with us on [email protected] if you would like to get involved.
