Toss it away? No Way!
It's time to get that item fixed rather than throwing it away!
Join us at the Grey Lynn Repair Cafe, formerly known as Krd Repair Cafe, every second Saturday of the month, From 11am- 2pm.
Repair Cafés are events where you can bring broken or damaged items and the locals volunteer their time and expertise to fix them for you at no charge.
The idea is to encourage the concept of Repair-Renew-Reuse.
It is all part of the circular economy which is what Doughnut Economics is all about.
Our experts do their best to fix:
- Small electrical appliances (like kettles, toasters, lamps, radios etc.)
- Clothes (patching, hemming, let in or out)
- Computer and electronic problems diagnosed (software & hardware); and sometimes fixed too
- General items, including toys, glued, nailed, screwed, stitched or checked for mechanical faults
- Bikes and Toys
One of the special aspects of a Repair Café is that you get to stay with the repairer while your item is being fixed. You may even learn how to fix it yourself next time. There is usually plenty of parking in surrounding streets
It is a FREE event however, if you like, donations/koha are gratefully received to help fund future Repair Cafés.
