Each month volunteers help to repair items brought in for assessment, while refreshments are provided for those waiting. This is part of the Highland Community Waste Partnership's activities across the Highlands. The idea is to teach the repair tricks as well as to repair the items, so the owner can go home with some new skills. The Black Isle cafes are supported by the Black Isle's Mens Shed and Transition Black Isle. Each month there is a different village for the event. Funding for the three year programme comes from the Scottish Government through Keep Scotland Beautiful. The funding exists to help reduce the carbon footprint of Scotland through reuse, repair and recycle activities.
