We welcomed ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฏ visitors and tackled ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฑ items ranging from electrical gadgets and jewellery to bags, chairs, watch straps and sewing repairs. Some items came in looking a bit sorry for themselves and left with a new lease of life!

A special mention goes to our very own ๐——๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฑ, who kindly presented the Repair Cafe team with a new soldering iron. A very welcome addition to our repair toolkit and one that will no doubt help save many more items from the bin in the months ahead.

Plenty of heads being scratched over repairs ๐Ÿ“ธ Tools being put to good use ๐Ÿ“ธ Happy visitors and busy volunteers ๐Ÿ“ธ The usual mixture of teamwork, tea, ๐—ฆ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ'๐˜€ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐˜€ and repair magic.

Not everything can be fixed, but every item looked at is one less thing heading straight to landfill and one more opportunity to share skills, stories and a cuppa.

A huge thank you to all our volunteers, fixers and visitors. You are what makes the Repair Cafe such a wonderful community event.

Got something broken, wonky, torn, blunt, squeaky or just plain stubborn? Bring it along next timeโ€”we love a challenge! ๐Ÿ› ๏ธโ™ป๏ธ

Bring it along and let our team of repair wizards see what can be done before it heads for landfill.

While you wait, why not enjoy a refreshing summer drink, a cuppa if the Scottish summer is behaving like its usual self, and one of Sandra's legendary homemade cakes? ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿน

Our volunteers will be on hand with: ๐Ÿชก Sewing repairs ๐Ÿ”Œ Electrical and mechanical fixes ๐Ÿชต Woodwork repairs ๐Ÿ“š Book repair advice ๐Ÿ”ช Knife sharpening ๐Ÿ˜Š Friendly chat and plenty of community spirit
Whether you're bringing a treasured possession, a mystery object from the back of a cupboard, or simply yourself, you'll find a warm welcome.

So dust off those broken bits and bobs, grab your sunglasses (and probably a waterproof just in case), and join us for a morning of repairing, reusing, and reconnecting.
