Following the exciting announcement of the new Lend & Mend hub opening at Tŷ Pawb, (supported by the UK Government Shared Prosperity Fund, Refurbs and Wrexham County Borough Council) we are pleased to release the first schedule of repair sessions and upcycling workshops.

Our Upcycling Workshops launch on Friday 30th May 2025 and our Repair Sessions begin on Saturday, 14th June 2025. These free, hands-on sessions are a key part of Lend & Mend’s mission to support Wrexham residents to save money, reduce waste, and build community through shared knowledge and sustainable practices. Whether you are fixing a broken toaster, mending a torn jacket, or breathing new life into an old piece of clothing Lend & Mend can help.

Our Upcycling Workshop start on Friday 30th May, 11.30 am – 1.30pm and then will then take place monthly on the last Friday of the month. Join our first workshop to create upcycled home decorations. Charming door hangings or artworks using repurposed materials for a personalised touch. Other session includes

  • Afternoon Tea – cake tiers

Repair sessions start on Saturday 14th June, 11.00 am. Bring in small household items in need of repair and work alongside experienced volunteers to fix them. Learn useful repair skills while keeping items out of landfill. Repair session will then take place monthly on the 2nd Saturday of the month.

All sessions will take place at Tŷ Pawb, in the new Lend & Mend community space. No experience is necessary; tools (and materials for workshops) will be provided.
