Our first Repair Café yesterday, and what a happy day it was! We repaired 29 items and saved them from landfill - from a cassette player to garden tools, a vacuum cleaner, trousers, a coat, a basket, chairs, bags, and an 80's record player. Many of the items meant so much to the owners in terms of emotional value. 💚💚💚 Thanks very much to all visitors, all our brilliant volunteers, all WI bakers who made such gorgeous cakes, and all of you who supported us to make it happen. Together we made it a lovely, relaxed, fun day! 🥳💪🥰🤩 Check us out on Facebook and book in your repair for our next Café on our website: coquetrepair.co.uk. See you all on November 26th in the Jubilee Hall in Rothbury!

You helped to make it happen! Our Opening Event will be on September 10th, from 10am-2pm, in the Jubilee Hall in Rothbury. So save the date! For all your queries and the latest news and updates, find us on Facebook or Twitter, @CoquetRepair. Many thanks from the CRC team and hope to see you in September!

Yesterday, our crowdfunding campaign came to an end, and we are incredibly happy with the results! Your generous support led to an amazing pledge of £1,999 from the North of Tyne Authorities, allowing us to professionalise Coquetdale Repair Café even more and buy quality equipment for our volunteers to work with. We're so excited that it's really going to happen! We hope to see you all at our opening event, which will be on Saturday, September 10th, from 10am - 2pm in the Jubilee Hall in Rothbury. Save the date! For the latest news, visit us on Facebook or Twitter: @CoquetRepair. Best wishes from our happy and grateful team!

Congrats, you did it! You helped us make it happen: we hit our target and Coquetdale Repair Café will definitely open its doors this autumn. We are immensely grateful for your support. And don’t think we’re leaning back now… We’re working hard to make the Café a community hub for saving waste & money, learning new skills and meeting up with (new) friends. Our 18 skilled volunteers are ready to roll up their sleeves and fix Coquetdale’s broken items. The first Café will be on September 10 from 10am-2pm in the Jubilee Hall in Rothbury. Save the date and be most welcome to come and meet us! Thanks to all your support we are now overfunding. This is a deliberate choice. The Café will only get better with all the extra money we can raise. It will help us take it into remote villages in Coquetdale and ensure its continuation in future years. So why not keep sharing the link and spreading the word! Thanks a million from our happy team.
