Tip of the Week

Is your coffee machine broken? Or is your jacket missing a button and you can't sew? Don't worry, find a Repair Café near you and drop by.

Repair Cafés are free meeting places and they’re all about repairing things (together). In the place where a Repair Café is located, you’ll find tools and materials to help you make any repairs you need. On clothes, furniture, electrical appliances, bicycles, crockery, appliances, toys, etc. You’ll also find expert volunteers with repair skills in all kinds of fields.

Check https://www.repaircafe.org/ or Google "repair cafe yourtown".

Forward this to a friend who cares about online security.
