Nillumbik Repair Cafe is held monthly at the Hurstbridge Hub, in conjunction with one of the Edible Hub food swap and shares.
Repair cafes are a place you can bring your broken items to receive a new lease on life. At the repair cafe, volunteer fixers perform simple repairs on all kinds of everyday items that would otherwise be thrown out and sent to landfill. Attendees sit with the repairer while they talk you through what they’re doing, making it a place to have a chat, meet new people, and learn valuable DIY skills that can save money and reduce waste.
Items that can be repaired at the cafe include:
- clothing
- bikes
- tools
- musical instruments
- electronic devices
- toys
- mechanical items
- shoes and leather goods
- manchester
- small furniture
- bric a brac
… and more!
