Reduce waste by repairing instead of replacing!

Do you enjoy fixing, mending, tinkering, or repairing things? The Repair Cafe is a welcoming space that is designed to help the community learn skills to repair and mend broken or damaged items.

Save money by reusing or repurposing. Reduce your waste and gain a skill! Come along and help build a resilient community in these challenging times.

Meet other like-minded people, repairers, makers, and community makers. We are also seeking volunteers who would like to help facilitate the sessions and share their skills.

The Adelaide Repair Cafe is part of a global community dedicated to fixing broken household items & reducing our collective impact on the environment.
