Do you have small item that needs to be repaired?

A broken kettle, necklace or hem on your favourite dress is unraveled?

Bring them along to our Repair cafe;

We have various volunteers who are donating their time to repair your items that you have been storing away not knowing what to do with them.

Accepted on the day will be small appliances, general repairs, jewellery & clothing.

There will be a children’s activity, tea and coffee for that neighbourly chat.

Nothing to repair? Pop in and have a look around, meet your local community.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Any clothing that you bring will need to be washed.

Please bring anything that you need fixed to your broken item, for example a new zip or new plug attachment

Birkenhead Repair Cafe

We started our Repair Café in 2017 as part of Repair Cafe Auckland because we weren’t happy with how hard and expensive it is to fix items resulting in people throwing them out just to replace with a cheaper item. All of our volunteers have been on our journey from the beginning.

We have 3 electricians, 2 general repair guys, 3 sewers and a jeweller. Due to the small size of our community house we have connected with a local Church to now hold Repair Café's there.

Our volunteers have fixed shoes, irons, toasters, chairs, necklaces and so much more.
