REPAIR CAFE at ReStore, Habitat for Humanity in Tahuna, Saturday 19 JUNE 2021
Repair Cafes are community events which match people with broken household items with skilled volunteers or specialists who like fixing things. We're fixing items and building community. Come along and you might pick up some new fixing skills.
You will be able to bring household items for smaller repairs – examples include:
Bicycles
Electrical repairs (NO large appliances, microwaves and electric blankets)
Small furniture or miscellaneous household items
Toys
Clothing & leather
Tool maintenance
One item will be accepted per household, although if it’s not too busy, additional items may be repaired. It will be at the discretion of the Repair Café and the volunteers as to whether an item is suitable for repair, and you’ll be encouraged to observe and engage so that you can pick up new skills too.
Whilst you’re visiting, it’s also a great opportunity to browse the extensive ReStore shop and grab a coffee at their café.
If you want to join in as a repairer or a helper (meet & greet, runner) you would be very welcome and fed coffee and cake!! Contact me through Neighbourly.

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)
