Information
Do you have broken items sitting around your house, that with a simple repair would be given a new lease of life? Bring them along to the Repair Café and find out how you can get involved.
Each year, tons of household items end up in landfill, simply because they are broken. Repair Cafés try to fix broken items so they can continue to be used for years to come.
At the healthAbility Repair Café, our skilled repairers will try to repair your broken item and where possible show you how these types of repairs are done, so you can learn new skills and share this knowledge with others. While you're there, you can enjoy a cuppa and chat with others in a relaxed, social environment.
