Repair Cafés

Our next repair café will be on Sunday 25th October, from 10am to 1pm, at the Brunswick Tool Library, 127 Nicholson St., Brunswick East. Please arrive before 12pm to give us time to look at your item. You’ll find us in the underground car park!

Come along and have our experienced volunteer fixers help you repair your broken treasures - saving them from the tip! We supply the tools, the workbenches, and the expertise. All you need to bring is your thing for repair and any spare parts that you might require to fix your item (such as zippers, power cords, bike tubes, hinges, etc.). You’ll be paired with a repairer to learn about or assist in the repair of your item where possible. See how simple and rewarding repairing can be, and build confidence to start fixing things yourself!
