Today we are fixing small electronics, wooden items, clothing, soft toys, bikes and general repairs. Have something weird that doesn't fit in a category? Try us!
Hang out, have a chat and enjoy a fresh-baked snack and a tea or a cup of freshly brewed coffee from Kokako Organic Coffee. Koha is welcome for refreshments and for our lovely volunteers.
Once or twice a month we also offer home electrical appliance repairs, when our electrician is with us. Watch the ALoT Facebook page or the Repair & Share event discussion for announcements!

∙ We don't work with microwaves.
∙ We do not do clothing alterations, only repairs and mending jobs.
If you would like to help out, we'd love to hear from you! We need skilled repairers, reception, photography and story-finding, cafe help, baking, first aid and more. Send us a message to find out how you can help!

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

85.5% Yes

13.3% No
