The next #Barry repair cafe is on 🗓️ Saturday 2nd March from 10am until 1pm at Barry Library and it's our first birthday 🥳.
Our talented volunteers have fixed 385 items over 10 cafes so far, and we think that's worth celebrating.
We'll be fixing (or at least trying to) your items; lamps, clothing, toys, electricals, office chairs, jewelry, and more for free - one repair per person due to demand.
Come along and celebrate with us whether you've something to be fixed or not.
This month saw us provide a mobile repair cafe(!) to 10th Barry Guides to save their broken tables from landfill.
Several tables were successfully fixed there and then (6 needed realignment of some plastic clips together with some silicone lubricant), and two were brought home to be cobbled together into one good one.
Another successful fix for our volunteers - well done!
I'm supposed to cut back on #tea because of caffeine contributing to #GERD. Which makes me extremely sad! I decided to give #Barry's decaf tea a try. And it's ... actually good? Most #decaf tea sucks, but I'm not sure I'd even know this is decaf. Anyway, good job, #Mastodaoine
