you can make some filler from sawdust and pva, fill and allow to dry ,

then drill a small pilot hole [3mm] and refix using a wood screw, or could you put a bolt thru into the next cupboard if there is one adjacent ...?

The other option is a repair plate

I think I have seen them in B&Q also try searching "kitchen hinge" on e-bay
