Hitchin Hackspace

Our latest #RepairCafe was held on Saturday 16th October on the weekend of #InternationalRepairDay. Organised by the fantastic Jen M of #PlasticFreeHitchin it was our biggest event yet with 94% of the 50 items seen either fixed or the owner advised on how to repair it. A huge thank you to everyone!
