THE repair revolution, known as REPAIR IT, is coming to Crediton on October 29 and it needs your help!

REPAIR IT involves local volunteers with technical repair skills helping others fix and maintain their small electrical appliances and gadgets, including computers – for free.

The event is currently looking for local menders so if you have mending skills that you think you could contribute to the event then please get in touch.

Brought to you by Recycle Devon and Sustainable Crediton, REPAIR IT will take place alongside Sustainable Crediton’s Give and Take Shop at Crediton’s Methodist Church Hall in Union Road, on Saturday October 29 and will run from 10am to 12.30pm.

Esther Mann, from Sustainable Crediton, says: “Repair events such as this are about reducing waste and consumption as well as promoting the repair knowledge and skills that exist within local businesses and amongst community members.

“We’re looking forward to providing that expertise to help Crediton residents get their electricals fixed for free!”

Emma Croft, Re-use Project Co-ordinator at Recycle Devon, added: “If you think you might have the right skills to offer this event then we would love to hear from you.

“Please get in touch with me on 07966 566435 or via email: [email protected] to find out more.”

• The Give and Take Shop will be open from 10am to 4pm from Saturday, October 22 to Saturday, October 29.
