WEST WORCESTERSHIRE MP Dame Harriett Baldwin joined colleagues to celebrate the work of repair cafes across the country which help to fix loved household items.
The MP met with representatives of Malvern’s repair cafe where she has taken her own personal items for refurbishment in the past. Hundreds of locals visit Malvern Cube every month for help in fixing their items when the cafe is open.
Dame Harriett said: “I have visited Malvern Cube to take a treasured item of furniture in for repair and I know of the amazing job the team do giving old items a new lease of life.
“The trend to repair items rather than throw them away is really important, and I am happy to share the message that repair cafes can also bring electrical items back to life.
“We live in a easy disposal society but I hope that initiative like this will encourage local people to review their choice to throw items in the bin.”
