Mending more than broken parts
10 May 2023
Meet one of Melton’s menders.
Laurie Geyer is part of a small team of volunteers at the Community Repair Café, which fixes broken items for residents for free.
The 74-year-old retiree, who has extensive experience working in engineering and motor mechanics, began volunteering five years ago.
Whether it’s a wonky walking frame, a blocked vacuum cleaner or a broken household item, Laurie will do his best to give it a new lease of life.
