Repair Café returns to St Denys this month, offering the chance to get broken household items fixed.

It will be open at St Denys Community Centre SO17 2JZ (Sat nav, SO17 2HS) on Saturday, January 19, 2019 from 10.30am-1pm.

So if you have small electrical items like broken toasters, or other broken precious objects – or even clothing needing some repairs – then take them along. The general rule is that it needs to be small enough to carry in.

Transition Southampton say all their repairers will be there except for those who can help with jewellery.

Liz Batten, a member of the Repair Café team, previously said about Repair Cafés:

"Sharing skills is a big part of Repair Café. So often we don’t tackle a repair because we don’t have the confidence in our ability. The informal sharing environment of Repair Café will hopefully encourage people to have a go, improving their confidence, sense of achievement and helping then to feel part of their community."
