Are you good at fixing stuff? Would you like to share those skills while making friends? Then join the repair revolution! As more people choose repair and reuse over throw out and buy more, The Repair Café at Transition Town Forres needs more volunteer fixers. Volunteers at the Repair Café help breathe new life into electronics, toys, clothes, small bits of furniture, bicycles and the other stuff we want to keep...and they do this free of charge! Based on the nationwide Restart Party model, the café is open on the first Saturday of each month -- and it's also a social gathering, where people can have a bite to eat, whilst the fixing commences. This a great way to meet your neighbours, learn new skills and keep useful items out of landfill. You do not need to be an 'engineer' to volunteer -- though having lots of skills can help -- what really matters is your approach -- are you creative? do you have patience? do you enjoy solving a problem and approaching it rather methodically? The volunteer fixer role gives great satisfaction -- the feeling of triumph when a repair is successful, seeing people's faces light up when they learn something new, and also knowing that you are reducing waste, building community and helping our planet.

Volunteer opportunities will be allocated depending on preferences of the volunteer. This RDA group operate out of the equestrian centre at Burgie every Monday morning from 9.30am – 12.30am during term time, and provide riding lessons to 32 children with varying levels of disability ( 4 lessons with 8 ponies in each). The children come by minibus from many of the local primary and secondary schools. They are the ONLY RDA group to not charge anything to the riders and they receive no central funding so everything has to be fundraised. To operate safely they need many volunteers as they often need 3 volunteers/pony depending on the disability.
