The countdown is on for another Repair Cafรฉ.

We have some interesting items that are broken or faulty heading our way for assessment. Our aim is to repair and fix to divert from landfill and give things a second life.

Still tinkering with the idea of coming down? Book in today before it is too late.

The next Repair Cafรฉ will be on Saturday 30th May from 9:30am until 11:30am. Our volunteer repairers can assess toys, clothing, small furniture, household items, small electrical items, and wooden items! ๐Ÿšฒ

1. Book in your item for assessment (via the website: tinkd.nz) and tell us what's wrong.
2. Come along on the day with your item at Tinkd Makerspace, 148 Durham Street, Tauranga.
3. Meet a volunteer repairer and let's see if we can give that broken item a new lease of life.

See you there!
