Repair Cafe Repairer/Tinkerer
Community Toolbox CanberraRepair Café Repairers fix items brought in to our monthly Repair Cafe (last Saturday afternoon of the month) by customers, give advice on repairs and may teach people how to complete repairs themselves where appropriate.
We are particularly seeking a 'tinkerer', someone who loves to fix all manner of items that don't fit neatly into another category below.
Repairers are needed for:
- textiles and garments
- tech such as mobile phones
- bicycles
- outdoor tools such as lawnmowers
- knife sharpening
- jewellery repairs
- toys
- small electrical
If you have other repair skills not listed, please do let us know. We’d love to be able to offer a wide variety.
Our Repair Café is a place for the public to bring broken and not-working items to be fixed by volunteer repairers with the aim of keeping more things out of landfill, reducing consumption and lowering the pressure on the Earth’s resources. Repairers offer their skills for free but the customer pays for any significant parts that might be required.
