Volunteer Fixers

Can you fix things? Could you spare any time on a Saturday once a month?

We are looking for volunteer fixers for the Belle Isle repair café. Can you fix electrical or mechanical things – like clocks, strimmers, hair straighteners – or toys and clothes?

We can provide training and tools and you would be part of a team pooling your knowledge and helping to fix things.

The repair café is based at BITMO’s GATE and is held on Saturday afternoons from 1-4pm. The next two sessions are Saturday 17 June and Saturday 15 July. It would be fine to visit on one of these sessions to see if it is something you could get involved with.

For more information please call Peter Sutton at BITMO on 07891 274237 or complete the form below.

BITMO’s Board has opened a new Winter Warmth Fund for this winter. The Board understand the cost of living crisis that is affecting many people and have allocated money from their budget to pay for goods that can help you and your family keep warm this winter.

BITMO households in need of extra support can apply for a winter warmth pack which will contain large fleecy sherpa blankets, hot water bottles with covers and fleecy socks, with the amounts depending on how many people are in our household.

You can find out more and apply for a Winter Warmth Pack here.
