Air conditioning no longer working - what should I do?

My 2001 Honda Civic was recently checked by a friend and it was discovered that the air-con was no longer working. No reason was given.

Will it be worth getting the air-con fixed? Will there be problems if I leave it, as I’m unable to afford any costly repairs.

Worth seeing if a £60 re-gas solves it. if it doesn't, not worth spending any more money. And even if it does, the fresh gas could still leak and be gone in a month or so.
