Our friendly volunteer repairers can help with zips, buttons, simple alterations, darning and creative mends. Every fix keeps something out of landfill, shares local know-how and brings neighbours together.

A few handy things to know:
✂️ Please bring your own buttons, and zips if a replacement is needed
👋 Stay and chat while we work on your item. It's all about learning and sharing skills
☕ Cake and hot drinks are on sale at the Community Cafe
💚 Donations welcome, but never expected

Not sure if we can fix it? Email [email protected] at least 48 hours before and we'll let you know.

Want to help out? We'd love more volunteers, whether you mend things or simply enjoy welcoming people. No qualifications needed, just willing hands and a friendly heart!

🍻 People Planet Pint™ in Braunton

After a long, dry summer, the leaves are turning, but the ground is still thirsty. And it isn’t the only one. 🍺

Autumn is meant to be when the rain returns and rivers, soil and wildlife get a chance to recover. This year we’re heading into it with the region feeling the effects of drought. So what does that mean for north Devon’s rivers, coast and the people who live and work alongside them?

Come and talk it through at our next People Planet Pint.

No pitches, no panels, no pressure. Just an easy, informal meetup for anyone who cares about climate, sustainability and nature.
