Volunteers skilled at a variety of repairs aim to help people avoid the need to buy replacement items and reduce the number of old possessions being sent to landfill.
Repair cafe spokesperson Marion Meadows said: "The variety of items brought in for repair never ceases to amaze and the talents and skills of our volunteers in repairing those items is awe inspiring.
"They are always up for a challenge and some items really are a challenge.
