SUMMARY:Repair Cafe
DESCRIPTION:Join Us for Our First Repair Café of 2026\nWe’re back in Kinross with our repair events. As we approach our third anniversary\, we’re expanding our efforts by introducing monthly\, shorter Repair Cafés throughout 2026. This new format mirrors the approach of other successful groups across Scotland—more frequent sessions\, shorter waiting times\, and even more opportunities to get your much‑loved items fixed. \nEach session will run for two hours\, giving you quicker access to our volunteers and reducing the time between events. Because larger electrical items—such as hi‑fi systems—can take longer to repair\, we kindly ask that you book in advance if you plan to bring one along. You can reserve a slot by emailing us at kinrossrepaircafe@gmail.com. \nWhat to Expect\nOur Repair Café offers a wide range of repair skills under one roof. You’ll find volunteers ready to help with: \n\nTextiles and clothing\nElectricals and electronics\nBikes\nHousehold items\nString instruments (occasionally)\n\nWe’re also delighted to introduce a new tool‑sharpening service for household items such as scissors and knives. This service is appointment‑only with limited availability. To book\, simply visit our Repair Café page and follow the instructions provided there. \nWhy Come Along?\nBring your broken items\, enjoy a warm cuppa\, and have a friendly chat while our volunteers work their magic. It’s a brilliant way to save money\, reduce waste\, and learn more about how things are mended. Whether you’re popping in for a quick fix or staying to watch the repair process\, you’ll be part of a welcoming community effort to keep useful items in circulation. \nWe can’t wait to see you at our first Repair Café of 2026!

SUMMARY:International Repair Day
DESCRIPTION:A Special Repair Café\, 10am–1pm at Loch Leven Community Campus to celebrate International Repair Day.  \nEvery October\, we celebrate the spirit of repair — a movement that strengthens our communities\, protects our planet\, and empowers us with new skills. No matter if you’re a repairer\, organiser\, maker\, campaigner\, business owner\, or just someone who loves to fix things\, there’s a place for you in this growing movement. But when software updates end\, working devices are thrown away\, cutting short their life and piling onto the mountain of e-waste we’re trying to reduce. Together\, we can challenge this cycle and keep repair alive. \nSpecial programme of repairs and demonstrations.
