KIRKBYMOORSIDE Environment Group is encouraging people to mend items rather than thrown them away at its Repair Cafe.

The group’s next meeting will be held on Saturday, from 9.30am to 12.30pm, in The Moorside Room, Kirkbymoorside. June Emerson, from the group, said: “Rather than throwing broken items away, they can be brought along for repair, or advice, free of charge.

“Electrical items, computers, clothing, tools, household items, toys, garden tools – our team will have a go at most things.”

For more information, or to become a volunteer, phone June Emerson 01751 430907 or email kmegadmin@phonecoop.coop
