A new free repair shop is set to launch in Oxford, offering residents the chance to have items fixed without charge, according to the BBC.
Organisers behind the initiative said they hope it will attract enough interest to continue running on a monthly basis going forward.
Free repair events, often referred to as "repair cafes," have become increasingly common in UK towns and cities as part of a wider push to reduce waste and extend the life of household items.
Volunteers typically help repair items such as clothing, small electronics and household goods at these events, aiming to save participants money while cutting down on items sent to landfill.
Further details on the launch date, location and the types of repairs offered at the new Oxford initiative were not specified in the available report.
