The Karori Repair Cafe is coming to the Karori Community Centre!

This is a pop-up koha workshop where you can bring that broken/torn/failing appliance or favourite item and find out if it can be saved from a premature trip to the landfill. With the venue sorted, your keen duo of Julia and Karin are looking for people interested in being involved.

We are after volunteers with fix-it skills willing to give up 2-3 hours one Saturday, either one-off or more regularly. Electrical, sewing, and computer skills are the core expertise needed, but tool sharpening, jewellery repair, or any other skill that can assess and, where possible, save treasured or useful items from an unnecessary trip to the dump are most welcome.

If you don't have fix-it skills but are keen to be involved, we'd also love to hear from you. There's plenty else you can do to help us help our fixer volunteers and make the cafe a fun and successful ongoing event.

Message the team via the Karori Facebook page for more information we look forward to seeing you at this amazing community-centred initiative.
