Dollar's repair cafe, a community initiative where local people can have their damaged goods carefully fixed, has celebrated its fifth birthday.
It is based at The Hive in Dollar, a community centre and library serving the Clackmannanshire town.
The cafe aims to reduce waste and extend the life of much loved goods, while lowering the town's carbon footprint.
Running on the final Saturday of each month, the cafe repairs items such as; laptops and electronics, bikes, small furniture, toys, musical instruments, mechanical items and clothes and fabrics.
On average, the cafe repairs 95 items per year since its 2021 beginning. Residents from across the Wee County attend the cafe to have their goods restored.
It is ran by volunteers and those who have their goods repaired are suggested to make a donation of between £3 to £10. This money is donated back to the Dollar Community Development Trust.
The repair cafe marked its fifth birthday on October 31st with a special edition of the initiative.
A drop-in session by Climate Ready Forth Valley also coincided with the event which saw local people make suggestions for how the community can reduce the effects of climate change.
