New volunteers repairers with a variety of skills are asked to get in touch as the unique event gets back up and running.

Members of the public can bring their damaged items for volunteers to give them a new lease of life, preventing thousands of repairable household items from going to landfill every year.

An entirely volunteer-led operation, the Repair Cafés - which aim to be held four times a year - are a great way to meet other members of the community and make other people happy by repairing their much-loved items.
