The team at Moorlands Repair Cafe have been busy this year, with monthly visits to towns and villages across the Moorlands. We are keen to spread the word and encourage residents to have access to our services.

Total items brought in for repair:
  • February (Haregate) - 29 items
  • March (Foxlowe) -39 items
  • April (Haregate) - 15 items
  • May (Upper Tean) -10 items
  • June (Foxlowe) -23 items
  • July (Butterton) - 37 items

As you can see from the statistics below, we fix two-thirds of items on the day, with another 13% needing a replacement part. Just one in five is beyond repair.

We do see a lot of vacuum cleaners! Last year we seemed inundated with food mixers, but none so far this year.

Our repair team love a challenge and our last session at Butterton was very busy with a wide range of items from Kindles, to lawmowers, trousers and camera cases.

The team enjoyed the fine weather and beautiful setting of the Village Hall to have our annual BBQ with the amazing Bill the BBQ providing the necessary cooking facilities.
