Futures Forum: Sidmouth Repair Café > Saturday 24th November
Repairing has been made even easier thanks to 'generous sponsorship':
Bradfords
help out the Repair Café
Builders' Merchants Bradfords have been providing a real boost to Sidmouth's
Repair Café.
Last
month, they gave pots of paint and brushes for the final touch to a
recycled bench for the bus stop on Woolbrook Road, which Repair Café
fixers had put back together.
And
at the last Repair Café, they brought along hundreds of pounds worth
of equipment, to help the team to fix anything and everything that
comes through the Youth Club doors on the last Saturday of every
month.
Chris
Dunford gave chief fixer Dave Rafferty the tools and repair aids,
saying, “Bradfords are really happy to help with this community
project. Going forward, just ask and we'll be more than happy to help
if we can.”
Dave
was very grateful, thanking Chris for the generous sponsorship: “This
will be more than useful for our work, helping us folks to repair
stuff which would otherwise get thrown away and added to all the
landfill.”
Chris
was also impressed by what the Repair Café does as a community
service.
“I
didn't know what to expect when I visited, but it's not just about
repairs is it? It's about building up relationships, making
friendships.”
If
you have anything that needs mending – from electrical goods and
household items to toys and power tools – you can bring them along
to the next Repair Café at the Youth Centre on Manstone Lane any
time between 10am and 1pm tomorrow (Saturday 24th
November).
