Fundraising for our Repair Café communities to help fix your precious belongings
We all get frustrated when things break, worry about the cost to replace them and the number of items going into landfill.
Repair Café Aotearoa NZ brings communities together to fix their broken household items and personal belongings for free. This protects the environment, takes the fight to the cost-of-living crisis by saving money and raises awareness as well as teaching new skills - win, win, win, win!!
Please DONATE generously: Every dollar donated over the next two weeks will be used to set up and maintain Repair Cafés in our communities, providing special tools and supporting our volunteers, helping people like you to fix their belongings, save money and keep stuff out of landfills.
Give a little! Fix a little! - Give a lot! Fix a lot!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
