Herefordshire and Worcestershire have become a hotbed of repair activity, with thirteen repair cafes across the two counties.

Rod Howell, who helped set up the Repair Cafes in Worcester and Hereford City said that they were thrilled to be starting a new venture in Hereford, in the same month as International Repair Day.

The South Hereford Repair Café, based in Dinedor, says it repairs toys, household goods, electrical appliances, and clothing.
