  • Once repairs are complete, record it in the booking system and let people know they can give a donation if they’d like to support our work

  • Take donations using our petty cash box or card reader (training will be provided).

  • Follow all Fixing Factory procedures, including our volunteer code of conduct and health, safety and safeguarding procedures.
