    In their words: “Although we can repair and restore many old toys, we are no longer doing small scale diecast restorations, as these are very time consuming and the cost in many cases outweighs the value of the toy being restored.”

Glasgow

  • Repair Café Glasgow, Toy Hospital

    A free volunteer repair café with a strand it calls the Toy Hospital. Their framing is the useful one: a soft toy is a good first repair to attempt yourself, and somebody will start you off or talk you through it so you can do it next time. Textiles volunteers at every café.

    Their site

    In their words: “Mending soft toys can be the perfect opportunity for you to have a go at taking part in the repair as they often involve a bit of hand sewing.”
