Repair Cafe

WHAT IT’S ABOUT

WHAT IS A REPAIR CAFÉ?

Repair cafés empower people to fix broken ‘things’ by providing the tools/materials to restore them, assisted by volunteers with a range of practical skills. It’s an opportunity for makers and tinkerers to get together and render their services to the community, while promoting a circular economy.

HOW DOES THIS HELP?

Excessive consumerism, increasingly complex products, and anti-consumer design practices like planned obsolescence, have contributed to a generational throwaway culture. Extending a product’s life reduces landfill waste, preserves resources, and reduces CO2 emissions, benefiting the environment and saving consumers money.

 

GET INVOLVED

WHO IS THIS FOR?

Anyone! If you have a repair project that meets our criteria, we’d love to help. Engineers, crafters and tinkerers... we need you! This is a great opportunity for those looking to enhance their practical skillset.

No ticket required, just come along!

WHAT CAN I BRING?

Items must be:

  • Small enough to carry
  • Repairable without specialist tools/parts (i.e. not your smashed iPhone!)

Examples include household items, small appliances, electronics, toys, etc...
