The biggest risk we are under is financial - we can only do what we can raise funds to do.
We are grateful to a number of anonymous supporters who have made us loans at zero interest rates and for an unlimited time. It is our aim to pay those loads off as soon as possible, consistent with growing the charity.

Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
We are established as the place to go locally to get help fixing your household stuff.
We have a superb team of repairers who are brilliant at helping people fix things. Our Facebook Group documents the highlights and we have a library of photographs.
Thanks to our volunteers, the logistics of our events run as smoothly as they can - local people who may not have repair skills are nonetheless getting involved in our organisation, to everyone’s benefit In the beginning we had to do quite a lot of advertising to attract the attention of local people and ask them to bring their stuff in. Nowadays we get a consistent stream of items booked in. We are beginning to see ‘organic’ praise from people we’ve helped.
