Why Repair?

Social

The café space creates a sense of harmony and community where people of all ages and backgrounds but with a common interest can chat, meeting old friends and making new ones. Regular visitors to the Repair Café have become friends with a favourite repairer and ask for them by name.

Economic

Repair saves time and money! More often than not, a very simple repair is all that is needed to fix a broken or damaged item thus saving the unnecessary cost of a replacement. When we send less waste to landfill, costs are reduced and the whole community benefits financially!

Environmental

Repair is the natural way to extend a product's usable life. It reduces waste and pollution, and it saves energy, carbon emissions and finite non-renewable resources. It reduces the need to recycle which often uses more resources than producing something new.
