South Brent Repair Cafe

South Brent Repair Café from 9.30-11.50am in the Old School Community Centre.

Please bring us some items to mend, for example:

• your squeaky bike for oiling and a puncture to repair
• that shirt that needs some buttons
• a toaster that insisted on burning your bread every single time
• the ceramic ornament that you were given for Christmas and promptly broke
• the kitchen knives that are embarrassingly blunt (max of 3, unless our volunteer sharpeners are not busy)
• dad’s old shears that won’t even open, let alone cut a twig
• your favourite necklace that needs restringing
• a leather bag with a loose strap

If you can carry it, we will have a go at mending it! Our team of skilled volunteer repairers offer their services for free, with a café with hot drinks and delicious cakes and savouries to enjoy while your item is being repaired. Bring up to 2 small household items for repair. All for free, although we welcome donations to help cover costs.

The Repair Cafe usually runs on the second Saturday morning of January, March, May, July, and September plus the first Sunday in November. So the subsequent repair cafes will be on 14 March; 9 May; 11 July; 12 September.
