PEOPLE can take along items that are broken or not working to get them repaired for free at Hemyock Village Hall on Saturday, November 24, from 10am to noon.

Volunteers will try to mend items such as electrical goods, bikes, clothes, textiles, computers, ceramics and garden tools at the Blackdown Hill Repair Cafe session.

Coffee and cake will be on sale and donations will be welcome.

Around 192 items have so far been taken to the cafe events, with more than 70 per cent successfully repaired.
