Thank you to everyone who came along to our Repair Cafe event yesterday at Talla an Iochdair! Our volunteer repairers took on the challenge of fixing lots of items including five clocks, 3 radios, a vacuum, a couple of kettles, clothes, two pairs of secateurs, some fabric scissors, a rocking chair, picture frames, some electric keyboards, lamps and even a washing basket! Thank you to Ruairidh MacDonald, Chris Mitchell, Simon Davis and Anne Reid for all their help and expertise.

Thank you to the South Uist and Benbecula Agricultural Society for the lovely tea and baking!

Thank you to Marie Campbell, Gillian Lessiter, Lelsey MacFall and Anne Monk for lending a hand, and David and Logan Bagley who helped transport the rails of clothes from Benbecula Thrift Shop!
