Repair Café pop up event in Flint

Organisers of The Repair Café at Flint Town Hall are looking for volunteer fixers to help at its monthly pop-up event.

The Repair Café is a monthly pop-up event where volunteers fix household items for free in order to reduce waste, teach skills and bring the community together. They are now seeking Volunteer Fixers who can spare two hours once a month.

You don’t need to be a professional fixer to get involved; all you need is to be confident, competent and happy to give your time to make a positive difference to the environment, and to your local community.

Typical household item repairs include:

• Electrical items e.g.toasters, kettles, vacuum cleaners
• Clothing e.g.jeans, bags, shirts (sewing/textiles)
• IT e.g. PCs, laptops
• General e.g.toys, ornaments, small furniture, woodwork
• Bikes e.g.basic bike maintenance

The Repair Café is held on the third Wednesday of the month from 10-12 noon at Flint Town Hall.

It will not be held in August but the next one will be on September 24th.

Also on a Wednesday at the Town Hall, there is a Community Cafe, so you can enjoy a free cuppa, biscuits and a chat whilst your items are being repaired.
