Rolleston Repair Cafe

Lincoln Envirotown Coordinator from Lincoln Envirotown

Join Us at the Repair Café!

Do you have a toaster that's lost its spark? Is your bicycle gathering dust in the garage? Don't toss them out just yet!

We're excited to announce our October Repair Café, where we're giving new life to your ageing or broken items.
We aim to have skilled volunteers on hand to help repair a variety of items, from bikes to electronics, clothing to household appliances, and more.

Here's what we're planning:

Electrical & Electronics, including Appliances

Jewellery

Bike Repairs

Clothing Repairs

General Repairs

Scissor and Knife Sharpening (Max 1-2, sorry no garden tools)

REGISTER: events.humanitix.com...

Please Register: To help us help you, please register for this free event. Provide a brief description of the issue and the item(s) you need repairing. This way, our volunteer repairers can come prepared with the right tools and parts. We would appreciate it if items were brought in no later than 1 PM to give our repairers time to take a look. Items should be picked up by 2 PM on the same day of the event. If you haven’t registered, you can still come along on the day.

We look forward to giving your belongings a new lease of life at the Rolleston Community Centre on Saturday 11th October from 10am.
