Heads up, Repair Cafe Llantwit Major is this Saturday from 10am until midday. A mix of our volunteers and other wonderful people will be there to help you.

We're wrapping up early as we've become very quiet so our volunteers are heading off to start their weekends! We'll be back 1st November to fix your broken items for free. #repaircafe #valeofglamorgan

Please ensure when you change batteries to check that isn't the issue before bringing your item in, that you are putting in a new or fully charged rechargeable battery. #repaircafe #toptip

We have lots of vacuum cleaners and hair dryers coming in today. #repaircafe

The queue is about 20 minutes at the moment so if you have items to bring - we have space for you! #repaircafe

We are surprisingly busy given the storm - apparently you're all using the bad weather to get your broken items fixed for free (and get a warm drink and some biscuits) #repaircafe #solarpunk

If you're coming to join us today, please take care as Storm Amy continues to batter Barry! #stormamy #valeofglamorgan

We are all set up and ready for you to arrive at Barry library from 10am tomorrow! Jo and Kev, our usual organisers, are sadly ill with covid so our social media volunteer, @alexisbushnell , and form filler extraordinaire, @Uselessgeneration , have stepped up to […] [Original post on toot.wales]

Unfortunately our team of sewing experts won't be with us for our October repair café this Saturday so we won't be able to fix your textile items. We are also looking for volunteers - so if you're a whiz with a needle and thread, let us know! #repaircafe #sewing #Wales

Flint the teddy wants to remind you that if you don't want to be in photos at our repair cafe, you can pick up a "no pictures please" badge as you arrive - this lets our photographer see easily who has opted out. Flint was brought in by a woman whose mum had […] [Original post on toot.wales]

Just 1 week until we descend on Barry Library once more to fix your broken items for free! When?: Saturday 4th October, 10am - 1pm. Where?: Barry Library. What can we fix?: Anything you can get through the door that isn't a microwave! Tell your friends! #Wales

We had a wonderful time looking at (and playing with) Lady Penelope's car at June's repair cafe! Gary managed to get the lights working but not the motor. Even so, the owner was very happy to have at least one thing fixed. We're back at Barry library on Saturday […] [Original post on toot.wales]

Heads up, Repair Cafe Llantwit Major is this Saturday from 10am until midday. A mix of our volunteers and other wonderful people will be there to help you.

Due to many of our volunteers being unavailable this month, we are cancelling our September cafe - maybe Richard brought us bad luck opening an umbrella indoors in August! We'll be back on October 4th with a, hopefully, well rested team of fixers! #repaircafe

We were pleased to welcome some of Barry's kids to our repair cafe this month, and we certainly hope they had fun! Many of our fixers are happy to chat through what they're doing and teach children (and bid kids!) a little about the item itself and how it works […] [Original post on toot.wales]

We've had a few questions about why we can't fix microwaves recently and now #RepairCafe Wales has provided a super useful post that explains that and other reasons we can't attempt to fix certain things. "Please don’t bring these items... we can’t fix them! Our […] [Original post on toot.wales]

Diolch i bawb a ymwelodd â’r caffi trwsio yn ystod y mis. Fe wnaethon ni dderbyn gwerth £82.30 o roddion. Rydyn ni mor ddiolchgar i'n cymuned hael. Mae eich rhoddion yn ein galluogi i barhau â’n gwaith. Y mis hwn, byddwn yn ei wario ar hyfforddiant prawf PAT i'n gwirfoddolwyr, nwyddau traul, a […]

Thank you to everyone who attended our July repair café, we had donations of £82.30. We'll be spending it on PAT calibration and parking costs for our volunteers. We can't wait to be back at Barry Library on Saturday 6th September from 10am until 1pm. #repaircafe #gratitude

We were short on fixers this month but despite that we managed: 37 repairs in total 😲. 16 fixed 🥳. 6 repairable & 11 still in repair🛠️. 2 end of life 🪦. 2 mysteries 🕵🏻. Thank you for your patience everyone who joined us - we really appreciate the kindness and understanding you showed with the […]

We're starting to wrap up here now, just finishing off the last few items. We'll be back on Saturday 6th September from 10am until 1pm at Barry Library - see you then! #repaircafe @wales

We really appreciate your patience today with the long waits and we hope you enjoyed Ann’s delicious cakes while you waited! #community #homemade #repaircafe @repaircafe

We've had a well loved panda that needed re-stuffing come in and has been successfully returned to its loving home. #repaircafe

Our software repairer, Steph, has been lured into fixing some scales as we're so busy, and she did a great job! #righttorepair

Our wait is now up to an hour. We are here every month so if you'd prefer not to wait, you can plan to bring your item to us on Saturday 6th September instead. #repaircafe #valeofglamorgan

Several of our volunteers are on well deserved holidays so we're a bit short on fixers this month. Our wait time is currently about 40 minutes for most repairs. #repaircafe

@RepairCafe_Barry That definitely counts. I helped a putative visitor fix his urn before even attending by getting him to check the fuse! B^>

Our first fix is actually an attendee who, while waiting for one of our volunteers, managed to fix his coffee machine himself. Success! #repaircafe #righttorepair

We're ready for you! Our team of fabulous volunteers are here at Barry library until 1pm fixing your broken items for free. What are you bringing for us this month? #repaircafe #valeofglamorgan #community

⚠ Diodydd yn ein caffi trwsio ⚠ . Peidiwch â helpu eich hunain i de a choffi – bydd ein gwirfoddolwyr gwych, Suzi a Juliet, yn eich gwasanaethu. Peidiwch â mynd â diodydd poeth i mewn i ardal y plant yn y llyfrgell – mae hyn yn berygl difrifol i'r plant. Mae hyn er mwyn sicrhau bod pawb yn […]

Our next repair cafe is this Saturday so spread the word! We fix your items for free to help save items from landfill and save you money! #valeofglamorgan #Wales #repaircafe

Ein rheol aur yw “os gallwch chi ei ffitio drwy'r drysau ac nad microdon yw e, fe wnawn ni drio ei drwsio!" Dydyn ni ddim yn gallu rhoi sicrwydd y gallwn drwsio rhywbeth, ond rhwng ein gwirfoddolwyr, mae gennym amrywiaeth eang o sgiliau ac arbenigedd. Rydyn ni yn Llyfrgell y Barri o 10am tan […]

⚠ Drinks rules at our repair cafe ⚠ . Do not help yourselves to tea and coffee - our wonderful volunteers, Suzie and Juliet, will serve you. Do not take hot drinks into the children's area of the library - this is a serious danger to the children. Barry Library are very kind allowing us to […]

The Richard's did a great job fixing two lawnmowers at our July cafe. If you've been busy in the garden and discovered that something isn't working, why not bring it along to our next repair cafe on Saturday 2nd August from 10am until 1pm. Please note we do not […] [Original post on toot.wales]

Rydyn ni wrth ein bodd yn gweld teuluoedd yn galw heibio ein caffi trwsio – a gweld y plant yn cymryd rhan yn y gwaith trwsio. Mae'n aml yn ddiddorol iddyn nhw ddarganfod sut mae pethau'n gweithio a bod yn rhan o’u trwsio. Mae gan y llyfrgell adran blant hyfryd hefyd os ydyn nhw'n blino ar aros […]

We’re looking for volunteers! If you have skills in fixing items, or want to learn how to, we’d love to have you join us. And if hands on stuff like that isn’t your area of expertise, we can find things for you to do; helping with drinks, setting up and packing down, translating our posts into […]

Eisiau gwirfoddoli? Os ydych chi’n gallu trwsio eitemau, neu os ydych chi eisiau dysgu sut i wneud hynny, mae croeso mawr i chi ymuno â ni. Ac os nad yw pethau ymarferol fel yna yn faes arbenigedd i chi, gallwn ddod o hyd i bethau i chi eu gwneud; helpu gyda diodydd, gosod a phacio, cyfieithu […]

What kindness have you seen from volunteers? “At @RepairCafe_Barry we have an Autistic boy who comes in every month with his teddy. One of our volunteers spotted a very similar teddy in a charity shop for £1 and bought it for spare parts as needed.” What a kind […] [Original post on kind.social]

Diolch i bawb a ymwelodd â’r caffi trwsio yn ystod y mis. Fe wnaethon ni dderbyn gwerth £84.05 o roddion. Rydyn ni mor ddiolchgar i'n cymuned hael. Mae eich rhoddion yn ein galluogi i barhau â’n gwaith. Y mis hwn, byddwn yn ei wario ar hyfforddiant prawf PAT i'n gwirfoddolwyr, nwyddau traul […]

Elmo was a true team effort fix and it was worth it for the huge smile on his owner! Kev C started work on him at our June repair cafe. Kev H took him home to work on the wiring. And then Ann sewed him up good as new at our July cafe before he went home. We're […] [Original post on toot.wales]

Despite the humidity our volunteers managed some amazing numbers at our July repair cafe: 36 repairs in total 😲. 9 fixed 🥳. 6 repairable 🛠️. 8 end of life 🪦. 3 mysteries 🕵🏻. Thank you to everyone who came along! We're back at Barry Library on Saturday 1st […] [Original post on toot.wales]

Thank you to everyone who attended today. And a special thank you to all our volunteers who did a great job in Jo and Kev's absence - you helped out so much and made stepping in to some very big shoes a little easier!

We are remarkably quiet this afternoon so if you've got something that needs fixing, whiz it down to us now!

Our volunteers are doing a great job despite the humidity today. So far we've got vacuum cleaners, lawn mowers, clocks, Christmas trees and toothbrushes in! #repaircafe

Where better to spend this wet and windy Welsh morning than at our repair café with your community? We'll be at Barry library from 10am until 1pm fixing your broken items for free! @wales
