As the weather turns colder and Christmas edges closer, people often take a fresh look at the things they value, but no longer use.
The Repair Cafe team plans to help residents bring those items back to life.
Event details
The next Repair Cafe takes place on Saturday 29th November at the Ventnor Exchange (11 Church Street, Ventnor PO38 1SW).
It starts at 10:10am.
Volunteer repairers will offer support with a wide range of items, including lamps, clothing, coffee grinders and even Christmas lights.
They will either mend items or offer clear advice, so people can head into the festive season with things working again.
How to book a slot
The team encourages anyone who wants help to book one of the available 30-minute appointments.
They ask people to share as much detail as possible on the booking form, which helps them gather the right tools and supplies in advance.
Spreading the word
Organisers also invite people to share the event with friends and family.
You can follow their Facebook, Mastodon and Bluesky pages for up-to-date information.
