A new monthly repair cafe has been launched in Chaddlewood.
The first one, which took place in January, saw a steady stream of people turn up with a variety of items from vacuum cleaners to dolls in the hope they could be successfully repaired – and a good number of them were!

Some of the other items were declared beyond salvation and a few others will be brought back next time once their owners have obtained spare parts.
Knowledgeable and experienced repairers will be on hand each month at the Chaddlewood Repair Cafe to try and repair items such as day to day technology, clothes and toys.
The venue is supported by Timebank SW, the Saltash Repair Cafe and the Rees Centre Wellbeing Hub.
There is no charge for the repairs although donations are welcome and sometimes those who own the broken items will need to source and purchase their own replacement parts for fitting.

The Chaddlewood repair cafe will be at the Chaddlewood Farm Community Centre on the third Saturday of each month between 1.30pm and 3.30pm and the next one will be on February 17.
