Another great Repair Cafe last Sunday.
We had a constant flow of people, fixing 17 items including 8 sewing, 7 general and 2 electrical fixes.
Since restarting the Cafe in July 24 we have saved close to half a tonne of waste going to landfill!

Our next Cafe is on Sunday 15th March 12.30-3.30 pm and we will be doing an extra one on Saturday 28th March as part as part of the "One Planet Festival" - more details to follow.
