Crich Share & Repair Café
June 2023
Joining up with the Glebe's Table Top Sale proved to be a winning formula for the latest Share & Repair Cafe with our highest number of visitors to date.
Volunteers came together from the Glebe and Crich Share & Repair Cafe to share their skills and provide a space for the community to sell their unwanted second hand items or repair their broken items to prevent them going into landfill.
Some of the items repaired included a wooden card playing table with broken hinges, a teddy bear that need stuffing, a remote control for a whirlpool bath, a bike that needed a service, broken arm on some sunglasses, split seam on a dress, chicken house door, plus Ade & Alan sharpened over 40 garden tools, knives and scissors!
Volunteers shared their repairing skills by showing people how to fix their own items and gave demonstrations on how to use a sewing machine, a soldering iron and how to make plant milk using an Almond Cow!
Donations were made for the repairs and many people bought the delicious homemade cakes sold in the café, which will all help to keep the Crich Share & Repair Café open.
We welcome new volunteers with open arms! Roles include fixing things, serving in the café, organising, welcoming customers and helping them complete our repair forms. If you can help please get in touch by emailing transitioncrich@gmail.com.
