Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Can you help fix things for others?

Help people to not throw away so much by joining our free repair effort. Local people are asking for a hand fixing the stuff they have a booked a slot with us for. Here's what people are bringing in to Lordship Hub Café on Sunday between 4 and 7pm:

Fixing the brakes and if possible replacing the grip material in the handle bars for two kids bicycles

A polaroid like camera ( instax mini 8 ) it's working but not registering the new film and not letting me take pictures

A nightdress and two dressing gowns, no thick material, need taking up by around two inches and I can't do it myself

Solar lights/squashed metal musical instrument

I have two electric shavers. One as slightly fallen apart and the other doesn't connect with the moving part.

DVD player not switching on/no power - hardly used but been plugged in on stand-by for ages.

Table fan, makes a humming noise but blades don’t turn - it's this model:

We don’t have enough people willing to try to help them - do you have fixing skills or want to learn\increase them? Book the first slot and let us know you can help (be specific if you wish)
