Repair Café is an ideal place to try if you have household items like toasters, clothes with holes or broken precious objects which you’d like to fix rather than consigning them to landfill.

Liz Batten, a member of the Repair Café team, previously told bitternepark.ionfo:

"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.

Alan the dalek has been made by members of Southampton Makerspace – a workshop for creative hobbyists: more info at http://www.somakeit.org.uk/
