Sunday Success!
Last's Sunday's Repair Café was a super success.
💎 Four new volunteers helped ensure the success of the latest Richmondshire Repair Café last week.
🛠🪛 Over three quarters of all the items brought in for repair were successfully fixed!
In the repairs area, new volunteers Steve and Aleesha impressed everyone with their skills at the general and jewellery repair stations.
Aleesha shone as the café’s newest – and youngest – repairer, helping to repair six necklaces brought in by Patricia Illingworth. Speaking about the result, Patricia said:
“I love this necklace; I haven’t been able to wear it for years.”
Experienced volunteer Sue Stokes, from Bainbridge, said:
“I have been working with Aleesha to enhance her jewellery repairing skills. She has been a quick learner and has proved to be a great assistant repairer.”
☕️ More volunteers worked tirelessly and cheerfully to make sure the café area was friendly and welcoming, serving tea, coffee and fabulous home-baked cakes to all who came along.

The next Repair Café will take place on Sunday 19th April at the Town Hall in Richmond. Visit the Repair Café webpage to find out more.
