Repair Café Hovingham - organised by Hovingham Project Purple

15/03/2026

What a great Repair Café & Community Hub! 🙌 We welcomed 33 visitors, tackled 19 repair jobs and fixed an amazing 14 items 💪 We also celebrated our 6th birthday with cake 🎂🥳 Plus lots of helpful advice, interest in solar panels and our thermal imaging camera (now off to help a local school save energy 🌱).

Thanks to your generosity we raised £146 in donations, and the lovely feedback – including from a very happy 4 year old whose Cinderella doll was described as now “nice and healthy” 😊 – made it all worthwhile. Huge thanks to our brilliant fixers, bakers and supporters! 💚The next Hovingham Repair Café is on Sat 13th June

Thousands of people across the country from households, schools and communities will take part in the UK’s biggest people-powered investigation into household plastic waste. By counting every piece of plastic packaging we throw away, together we’ll uncover the true scale of the UK’s plastics problem and call on the government to do more about it.

A BIG thank you to our 40 visitors who braved the chilly weather to drop into the Repair Café yesterday. 27 items were assessed by our super fixers with 13 repaired, 5 taken away to continue the fixing, 6 where advice given and 3 items where spare parts are needed.

Two singing teddies, age 36 yrs, found their voices again much to the delight of their owner. The Repair Café was treated to a Teddy duet. 🎶

In the Community Hub, the thermal imaging camera 📸was returned from a very grateful user who is now fixing the cold spots in his home. Please let your friends and relatives know we have one to borrow. They really do help to identify areas in the house that are letting in the cold where simple solutions could help keep money 💷in your wallet.

Generous donations from our grateful visitors totalled £214.55 for which we are very thankful. 😊

Our next Repair Cafe and Community Hub is Saturday 14th March. Hope to see everyone then.
