	Description:		With the cost of living crisis forcing many of us to try and limit what we spend, more and more people are looking to repair the things they own. It’s giving momentum to an international network of ‘repair cafes’ and a global campaign for manufacturers to make products fixable. In this episode, we hear from World Service listeners about their do-it-yourself repairs - some more successful than others. Laura Heighton-Ginns visits a bustling repair cafe, where all sorts of household and sentimental items are given new life, including Rosebud, a doll who was first played with 70 years ago. Laura also speaks to Ugo Vallauri, co-director of the international Restart Project, about the need for durability to be built back into product design. Presenter/producer: Laura Heighton-Ginns
