Get your things fixed at the Waiuku Repair Cafe

Chelsea from Pukekohe

Do you have something broken that needs fixing? Bring it along to the Waiuku Repair Cafe!

Saturday 27th September | 10am to 1pm
5 Hosking Pl @ Waiuku Zero Waste

Our usual repair offering will be on to help fix your household items. The aim is to keep your much loved things out of landfill by offering repair skills to the community for free (koha appreciated).

Bring along 1-2 items that need some TLC which can include clothing or other textiles, small electrical items, wooden furniture, toys, clocks, or anything else that needs a small fix.

Enjoy a cuppa and baking while you wait, then join your volunteer to discover how to repair your item. We'll have something for your tamariki to keep them entertained.
