I put the job out to our volunteers and anyone close to the customer who is prepared to take it one agrees to do so. If it can’t be resolved with advice (we have now repaired 9 sewing machines just by phoning up the owners and talking through the problem !), the volunteer then makes contact with the customer and gives them their address.

The repair is then left on the volunteer’s doorstop and they tell the customer when when it’s fixed so they can then collect it. We then invite them to make a donation toward the Cafe…

I keep a spreadsheet with all the online/doorstep repairs and who has what.

Hope that helps,

All the best,

Bryan
