Pascoe Vale Repair Cafe – First Session of 2026
We’re excited to welcome the community back to the Repair Cafe, with our first session of 2026 kicking off this Sunday 1st Feb at Sussex Neighbourhood House.
Sunday Feb 1st, 10am to 1pm | 7 Prospect St, Pascoe Vale (enter via the front garden)
Everyone is welcome to bring along broken or damaged household items and work alongside skilled volunteer repairers to see if they can be fixed. It’s about more than just repairs, it’s about sharing skills, reducing waste, and keeping useful items in circulation for longer.
What Can You Bring?
Repair Cafe is suitable for a wide range of everyday items, including:
- Small electrical items and sound equipment
- Clothing, textiles, and woollens
- Bikes and mechanical toys
- General household items in need of repair or adjustment
If it’s broken, torn, wobbly, or no longer working as it should, it’s worth bringing along.
Volunteer Repairers Available
Available this session:
- Lou: Electrical items, sound equipment, etc.
- Glenn: Appliances, handywork, and watches
- Peter: General handyman repairs, basic bike repairs, mechanical (incl. toys)
- Satya: Machine sewing (clothes & fabric)
- Leanda: Hand & machine sewing
- Bev & Nicole: Hand mending and woollen repairs
- Lyn: General repairs
Repairs are carried out collaboratively, giving participants the chance to learn new skills and better understand how their items work.
How It Works
Repairs are offered free of charge, with a pay as you feel donation model to support the ongoing running of Repair Cafe and our sustainability initiatives. Wait times can vary depending on the demand and the nature of repairs, so we recommend limiting the amount of items you bring and being prepared to spend some time on site.
Whether you come with something to fix or just want to learn, observe, and connect, you’re warmly welcome.
