Our aim is to save salvageable items headed for landfill, whilst sharing + learning skills + meeting new people in our community.
How it works:
1. Bring your broken doodad, along with any known parts needed to fix it (For example, to replace a broken zip, we’ll need an alternative zip - we don’t have supplies).
2. In tandem with one of our helpful hosts, fill in a registration form to log your Repair.
3. Grab a cuppa, cake + convo, whilst you wait…
4. Join one of our Fixers to nosy around your item + start fixing.
5. Chat, question, learn, exchange.
6. Leave, feeling content*, with your (hopefully) repaired item + a new experience.
*with an insatiable thirst to find more broken things
If you are feeling unsure, you are very welcome to pop down + have a look around. Come in for tea, cake + a chat - we can advise you about future repairs and/or volunteering yourself.
Additionally, if you would like to join our cohort of volunteers, or if you have any questions, please contact howdy@makersmews.com
PLEASE NOTE: This is not a commercial service- there are no promises or guarantees of a fix, just volunteers giving their best efforts to save your items for you.
