BBC's The Repair Shop is reaching out to community groups across Northern Ireland as part of this year's Christmas Special.
The show is seeking to find "deeply cherished festive items that are in need of serious repair".
The Repair Shop is looking for Christmas-themed or festive items "that hold strong emotional or cultural significance—either to individuals or to your community as a whole".
A statement said: "Whether it’s a treasured family heirloom, a community decoration, a much-loved nativity figure, or a broken tradition in need of revival, we want to hear its story.
"The items should be directly related to Christmas and the festive season and should be in very poor condition (in need of more than just a good clean!). We would really love to find items that have amazing stories attached to them.
"Our team of expert craftspeople are ready to restore these beloved items, and it really can be any item. If your readers have an item that fit, It would be invaluable to us to help spread the word. This is essentially an opportunity for someone to get a cherished item fixed for free, whilst telling their story."
