Repair Cafe

What do you do with a broken object? A bike when the wheel runs out of tyre? Or with a sweater full of moth holes? Toss it? No way! Take it to the Repair Cafe:

The Repair Cafe is held at the Wellness and Respite Community Centre, 1A Edwards Street, Manjimup on the second Monday of the month.

Repair Cafe is also meant to put community members in touch with each other in a new way and to discover that a lot of know-how and practical skills can be found close to home. If you repair a bike, a CD player or a pair of trousers together with a previously unfamiliar neighbour, you look at that person in a different light the next time you run into them on the street. Jointly making repairs can lead to pleasant contacts in the community.

Everything centred on making repairs. Starting from 10am and ending at 12.30pm, various volunteer repair experts were available to help make all possible repairs free of charge. Tools and materials were also on hand and light refreshments available.
