Join the repair revolution!
Come along any time 10am-12pm at The YMCA on Mill Street, South Molton to bring your items back to life, learn new skills, save money and the planet!
We aim to offer (this will be updated closer to the event):
🧵Textiles repairs (always available) - Such as replacing zips and buttons (bring your own zips and buttons), darning teddy bears, simple alterations, visible darning.
🔨Simple carpentry and handman-type repairs
📻 Soldering and other small electrical repairs
🖥 ICT support
💍 Basic jewellery repairs
However, as we rely on volunteers, we can't always guarantee that all these skills will be available.
If you have any questions, email info@plasticfreenorthdevon.org at least 48 hours before the event to give us time to respond.
👉Please note:
We are not a professional repair service, so please don’t bring us ‘fancy’ repairs like wedding dresses. If you are unsure on whether to bring an item or not - please email info@plasticfreenorthdevon.org and we will run it by our sewing stars to see what we can do.
💸 This is a FREE service! Donations are welcome but not expected.
💚 We'd love it if you could stay whilst we repair your items, our cafes are about building community connection and sharing skills too.

🙋♀️VOLUNTEER WITH US🙋♀️
We are always on the lookout for a few more volunteers, either to share their mending skills at the Cafes or to help out behind the scenes and welcome people on the day. You don’t need to be a professional seamstress or upholsterer or mechanic to volunteer - just someone with some basic skills who is happy to share what they know or a friendly welcoming face to help run the event. There is no pressure to undertake any repairs that you are not confident with.
Please get in touch with us on info@plasticfreenorthdevon.org if you would like to get involved.
