Thank you to all supporters of our Repair Cafe and also your very generous donations. Voluntary donations are used to cover hall hire costs, refreshments and sundries. Our team of volunteers provide their time voluntarily and we would not be able to operate without them, so many thanks to all. Our hard-working volunteers are now taking a well-earned rest until February 2027. Please see our list of next year's events.

We look forward to welcoming customers with their repairs on this Saturday (03/10/26, 10am-1pm) at Danby Village Hall. It looks like we're going to have a busy morning. Our very talented team will be working on electrical and wooden items. We also expect a vintage sewing basket and plenty of sewing. Please come along, see what we do and join us for a cuppa, biscuits and cake. If you intend to bring something for repair, please contact us (this helps us bring the right tools/resources if we have them).
