Come along to EVI Repair Café, where sewing volunteers Sally & Sue can help repair your damaged textiles and clothing items for free; from replacing buttons and zips and sewing on patches, to mending a rip or fixing a hem.

We also have volunteers who can help fix your:
– Bicycles
– Household electrical items
– Jewellery
– Woodwork
…and more!

Instead of throwing your broken items away, bring them along on Monday 17th April (2pm – 4pm) to save yourself some money and reduce items going to landfill – or just come along for a chat and free cuppa in a warm and friendly space.

EVI Repair Café runs on the third Monday of every month, scroll down for a list of upcoming dates.

If you have the skills to fix any of these items and would like to volunteer, we would love to hear from you. Get in touch! Email info@evi.cymru, ring 01495708022 or pop in.
