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 can repair:
🧵Textiles repairs (always available) - Such as replacing zips and buttons (bring your own zips and buttons), darning teddy bears, simple alterations, visible darning.
🧸 Toy repairs
💍 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.
