Residents and visitors enjoyed Richmond's first community repair and repurposing cafe on Sunday.
A wide variety of household items were brought into Richmond Town Hall, challenging the skill and ingenuity of the ten enthusiastic volunteer fixers.
Bikes, radios, boots, a projector, jewellery, and a much loved panda soft toy were amongst the 40 items that were brought in for repair.
Younger visitors were treated to youth repurposing activities organised by North Yorkshire Youth Service, and a PAT testing service for electrical items was donated by BSA electrical.
The event was organised by Richmondshire Climate Action Partnership, to highlight how waste can be reduced by making items last longer. It was supported by grants from Richmond Town Council and North Yorkshire Councillor Stuart Parsons' Locality Fund, and donations received on the day.
The event was part of a series of events for Great Big Green Week, which runs until June 16. To find out about other events coming up in the Richmond area, visit www.richmondshireclimateaction.org/great-big-green-week.
