Feilding Repair CAFE
Our first event last Saturday is done and dusted - and WHAT A BLAST - so many people visited. 37 jobs were assessed with 12 of these being fixed and another 14 starting the repair journey. The comradery of our skilled problem solving experts was brilliant as was the baking. Clock chimes were restored, seams stitched, sleeves hemmed, picture frames mended, fans again useful, chair legs restored and clock hands moving again, One memorable job was a leather horse ornament being brought in for information on restoration and now starting a journey to having a brass stand made. A big THANK YOU to all the volunteers , supporters and visitors who shared their mending problems. Repair Cafe Aotearoa NZ Environment Network Manawatū , Repair Cafe Levin , Manawatū District Council, Feilding & District Promotion, Re-think, Reduce, Re-use, Recycle - Manawatu, Darragh's Mitre 10 Feilding and Kinetic Electrical - Feilding.

Palmerston North people 👋
It seems like nearly every second day we are hearing about someone who has been scammed or messed around when they’re just trying to organise simple help. That's why I'm testing an idea for a local odd-jobs platform to help people get small household tasks done without the stress of trying to find someone reliable.
The goal is to build something that feels safe, local, and fair for everyone.
clear job descriptions
transparent pricing/bids
real profiles + ratings
We’ll start small with non-licensed jobs like:
🌿yard tidy-ups
🚮 rubbish removal
🚐 small moving help
🪣cleaning
🏠 minor repairs & maintenance (non-licensed)
The pilot won’t include electrical, gas, or certified plumbing.
With the cost of living right now, if you want to jump onboard as a customer or worker i’ve made an early access waitlist:

I’ve also got a fully anonymous survey up that takes less than two minutes. This will help me tailor the categories, pricing expectations and see what people want most:

If you’ve ever struggled to get a small job done because it’s “too small” for tradies, or if you’re someone who wants to earn extra money doing honest work - I’d really love your input.
👉You can also book on behalf of a family member who needs a bit of extra help.
Thanks heaps 🙌

Hello Neighbourly Community. Sadly my phone had a moment and uninstallerd the Neighbourly app for me. I have lost all the replies I had for a roofing contractor. I was wondering if anyone knows how to contact Fin from Roof Buddy please or if anyone has any reccomendations for a reliable roofing contractor please. Thankyou.
