It was a busy morning at the Repair Café in Larkhall on Saturday!
Some older technology such as an audio cassette player, and a VHS video player were given some TLC by volunteer Tim, enabling one owner to watch back his wedding footage and prepare it for digitalisation.
You could tell it was January by the winter coats that were brought in for new zips and buckles. But, a bright, summery bikini top made us hopeful for summer!
A pair of tired trainers were brought to life again and some fizz put back into the drinks of a Sodastream owner. We also enjoyed meeting two canine friends at the café this week.

Volunteer Vacancy!
Are you looking for a charity volunteering role as part of your New Year`s resolutions? Do you know a graphic designer who needs some experience for their CV?
We need some help producing posters, flyers and other occasional promotional assets, and would love some help from a graphic designer or someone interested in design.
We are unfortunately unable to offer remuneration, however as a volunteer position this role would be up to you - it could be a one-time offer of help, or an ongoing volunteer role as and when needed.
You would have access to Canva and Share and Repair branding, and your work would appear on our website, social media and in physical locations.
If you are interested in volunteering, please email volunteering@shareandrepair.org.uk or head to the link in our bio to register your interest.

Did you know that we’re running the Bath Half in March? We’ve got a great team of runners who are training for the big day and will be running for us!
We’ve got a mix of volunteers, staff and the public who we are thrilled will be running for Share and Repair.
Read on for a clip from Jessie and Chris` journals:
Jessie is our Volunteer Coordinator at Share and Repair, she does a brilliant job looking after our lovely volunteers. She’s run the Bath Half previously, but this is her first time running for Share and Repair.
“The biggest challenge for me is trying to motivate myself to go on my own when my running buddies have baled! Luckily enough for one week I had the company of my Mum`s dog who was staying with us which gave me an extra incentive to get out.”
Chris is a marketing Guru who helps us from time to time with our marketing, and has brilliantly signed up to run for us too!
"Dark nights and puddle-covered tracks are not the best friends of a would be runner! It’s hardly a great equation to get motivated. However, I have pushed through and used my competitive nature to get me going. My 27 year old daughter is also running the Bath Half so we’ve been comparing times and distances which has pushed me on - terrible competitive dad syndrome- but it helps! "
You can read more about each of our runners on our website News page, and if you would like to support them, please follow the link in our bio.

Thanks to all of our Repair Cafe Leads for the hard work and dedication they give to Share and Repair each month!
This team of people is essential for putting together each of our Repair Cafes every month, we wouldn`t be running week after week without their dedication.
We recently held a meeting to share experiences, talk about past events and future plans. Hila said it was a `great day of discussions`, we look forward to another year of busy Repair Cafes!
Thank you very much to @thecookkitchen for helping us to feed everyone, the food was delicious! A big thank you to Southdown Methodist Church Centre for their continued support throughout the years, for all of the events and Repair Cafes we have been able to hold.
And, thank you so much to @givingprint4charities for all of the printing they donated to us for free! We use these every day in our shop and at our Repair Cafes, we are very grateful!

Our CEO Ruth borrowed the crepe machine from our Library of Things over the Christmas holidays, and enjoyed lots of delicious crepes at home.
She said that it was great fun to borrow something she wouldn`t normally use, and her daughter Ash and boyfriend Seb look very pleased with their crepes!
Maybe you have made a New Year`s resolution to spend less, or committed to a year without buying anything new in 2025? The Library of Things is the perfect way to access hundreds of items when you need them, whilst also saving money and buying less.
Why not you treat yourself to something special too? We`ve also got a waffle maker and even a candy floss machine if you feel like it!

Weston Village Repair Cafe ran its first session of the year on Saturday.
23 items were brought in including an unusual German singing clock, a modern Dyson fan and a ripped jacket zipper.
The cake and coffee were excellent too!
