Save money and reduce waste - for free! Bridgnorth Repair Cafe announce date
The volunteers organising the new Bridgnorth Repair Café are pleased to announce that the first event will take place at St James’ Hall Church on Saturday, 1 March from 10am – 1pm!
Local people can take along small household electricals, clothing/textiles, jewellery and general small/mechanical repairs and a group of skilled volunteers will do their best to fix them - for free!
The volunteers can fix things like lamps, vacuum cleaners, kettles, radios, clothing, bags, jewellery and soft toys. There is no need for visitors to book; they can just call in with the item that needs repairing and enjoy a cuppa and a biscuit while they wait. Visitors can also chat to the fixing volunteers to learn how to repair the item themself in future.
Repair cafes have lots of benefits, including reducing the number of items going into landfill, sharing valuable repair skills that could otherwise be lost and saving people money because they need not buy a replacement item. For safety reasons, the volunteers cannot fix microwaves, safety equipment or white goods.
