Ngaio Repair Cafe

Ngaio Repair Café is part of the worldwide Repair Café movement to cut down waste and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Our local volunteer repairers will look at and try to fix all sorts of household gear: wooden, metal, electrical, electronic, pottery, fabric, toys, clothing, beads, cardboard – as long as it’s small enough for you to bring. While you wait to have your item looked at, morning tea is provided. You may well meet your neighbours! Children with care-givers are welcome. We have some basic materials on site but if your broken thing needs specific parts (e.g. zip, plug) please bring those along. It’s all free but a gold coin koha is appreciated to help the church community fund.

On 21 October we have general repairers, sewiers and one electrician available.
