FIXERS can help repair a wide range of household items, keep replacement costs down, and reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill.

Broken appliances, toys, and games are just some of the things that can be repaired at Woodley Repair Cafe.

Assistance is free, but donations are welcomed.

Woodley Repair Cafe operates on the first Sunday of the month, at Christ Church, Crockhamwell Road, between 2pm and 4pm.

The next event is on Sunday, June 2.

This group is keen to recruit more fixers.
