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: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.5% ... It is complicated
