Sewing and mending that needs doing and you'd like a bit of advice? Broken electrical or electronic items you don't want to throw away?
July 5th 13.00 - 16.00
(no new fixes after 15.30)
United Reform Church, Rookstone Road, Tooting SW17 9NQ
Transition Town Tooting and Restarters Tooting and Balham are delighted to announce our next Fixing and Mending party - fun and free events where you learn how to fix and take back control of your electricals: Slow or damaged laptops, smartphones, radios, kettles and many of your other favourite devices can often be put right so “don’t despair, just repair”.
Buttons missing from your shirts? Holes in your jumpers? Bring your repair and stitching projects along to the sewing table. Join with others and do your mending, sewing, knitting and crochet in company - with skills sharing if you'd like it.
Do expect a bit of waiting time - but we have tea and cake so bring a book or a pack of cards or take the chance to meet some new neighbours!
There is no pre-booking and what we are able to fix will depend on the number of fixers and their area of skill. We’re all volunteers who will help you learn to fix, not simply a free repair service. We can’t guarantee to fix anything but we can look at almost anything you can carry! (except microwave ovens for safety reasons)
Do bring your chargers for phones and laptops etc. You take responsibility for your own gadget and data, so please back it up to be safe.
We always welcome new local fixers and menders. You may already have skills, or simply like the idea of fixing and want to learn more. Come down and say Hi and we can pair you up with an experienced fixer to see how it works and find out more!
Free event, but donations and help welcome!
