    It is too late to book a place for this particular session, sorry about that.

    Come along to Mend and Sparkle, run by Fife Climate Hub, to find out what a repair cafe is and get introduced to a repair community group who will share their experience and inspiration. 

    The event will feature a presentation by Jane Dixon about how to start a repair cafe. The second talk will present Grow West Fife Repair Story which is a great example of how this can happen in your community. 

    During the event a textile repairer will offer basic clothes repairs and she will also demonstrate a small upcycling project for Christmas. This will provide experience of a mini repair cafe.

    Do you have a Christmas outfit or a soft toy that needs repairing? Bring it with you and watch a textile repairer in action.

    A free vegan buffet and cakes will be provided. 

    About Repair Cafes

    This year marks 15 years since the first repair café opened by Martine Postma in The Netherlands. Since then over 2,500 repair cafes have opened around the world. Repair cafes offer free repairs and an opportunity to learn new repair skills. They play a very important role in the transition to circular economies, reduce waste, and bring many social and economical benefits.
