We need fixers, repairers, sewers and handypeople to lend their skills to the repair cafe.

feel confident in their skill.
Fixers to repair/fix the following types of items although not exclusively:

example. This does not include alterations.

• Minor clock repairs
• General items, such as garden tools, toys, ornaments, small items of
furniture . . .
