New Zealand"One small repair can save money, reduce waste, and keep a favourite item going for years longer.
Every second Sunday of the month, the #SouthCanterbury #EcoCentre turns into a busy little workshop powered by generous community volunteers. One volunteer might be fixing a lamp, another patching someone’s favourite jeans, while nearby a bike gets tuned up and someone learns a new sewing skill over a cup of tea.
Our volunteer repairers help give broken, damaged, and well-loved items a second chance. It’s also a chance to learn new skills, build community connections, and share conversations with others."

#OttawaONT - September #RepairCafé (no ticket required; FREE EVENT)
Zibi, 28 Booth Street, Ottawa
Saturday, September 26th, 2026, from 10am until 2pm."#RepairCafés are opportunities for all #Ottawa & area residents to feel purpose and belonging – whether as a visitor or volunteer – to save money, learn new skills and foster a culture of repair! Repair Cafés directly divert items from our local landfills and reduce our environmental impact, while allowing our community to engage in accessible climate action!
Repair Cafés are an international concept that has come to the National Capital Region with the goal of reducing landfill waste, teaching new skills, and building community!
Our past Repair Cafés have been very successful with volunteers fixing dozens of items and sharing their knowledge around everything from darning socks to re-wiring kettles.
It's first-come, first-served, so please be prepared for the chance of extended wait times. Though we work as quickly and efficiently as we can, the popularity of these events is increasing and we can never tell what kind of wait there may be for us to see your item. We ask for your patience and kindness - remember, we are all on this repair mission together! :)
This event is sponsored by the Dream Community Foundation and hosted by Zibi and is free of charge. This listing is for information purposes only. All registration occurs onsite. You DO NOT HAVE TO REGISTER via Eventbrite, but a donation to support these great initiatives is always appreciated and helps cover expenses for volunteers. Note that if you kindly donate it does not mean you get to skip the line or show up as we are closing down with the expectation that someone will see your item.
Support provided from EPRA enables us to safely recycle any items that are not able to be repaired at the Repair Café."

🔧 The Power of Repair Cafés
Our member @tdr112 joined the Book of Leaves podcast for a chat about Repair Cafés and the repair community at TOG.
The conversation covers some memorable repairs, sharing practical skills, our Repair Café in a Box project, Dublin Maker and why repair is about more than simply getting a broken object working again.

#WinchesterMA - Winchester #RepairCafe
Saturday, August 29th
Appointments from 9am - 12:00pm
First Congregational Church
21 Church St.
Winchester, MA"There may be a long wait,so it is always better to make an appointment to be seen.
Please bring us your unwanted TV remote controls as we can repurpose them and give them a new life.
If you have repair skills and love a challenge, join our team of volunteer #menders and #mentors.
- The mission of Repair Café is for experienced menders to share their knowledge while demonstrating repairs, so our clients leave feeling empowered to try repairing themselves. We aim to spread the word that repairing and renovating can be FUN!
- Given the increased interest in Repair Café, appointments are limited to helping the client within the allotted 1/2 hour appointment time. Repairs and/or mending that require more time will need to be finished by the client.Please check the volunteer skills we can offer at this Repair Cafe and choose the one that matches the item you need to repair most closely. Each volunteer will show you how to repair your item, using their tools. You will learn the skills to finish repairing your object at home if we run out of time.
It would help us if you can indicate the type of repair you are bringing in, so we can be more prepared. For example, 'torn seam in red dress' then we can have red thread available. 'Old, faded jeans needing a patch' so we can have the right color patch handy.
Please remember:
- One person per repair.
- Each time slot is 30 minutes long, starting at 9:00 am until 12:00 pm. Up to two repair slots can be made per person.
- We will do our best to repair your item but sometimes it may not be fixable.
- Any spare parts (batteries, etc) will need to be provided by you. You can buy spare parts at Fells Hardware on Main Street.Sign-up for appointments recommended."

Saturday, July 18, 2026
10:00 AM to 1:00 PM"Join us for #RepairCafeSantaBarbara, a completely free, community-powered event where volunteers help fix broken items instead of sending them to the landfill. Bring up to two items — such as clothing, electronics, bikes, furniture, toys, small appliances, or knives for sharpening — and work alongside skilled fixers to bring them back to life. Enjoy light refreshments, live music, and community conversation while learning new #RepairSkills.
This is not a drop-off service; you’ll collaborate directly with a volunteer who will assess your item, guide you through the repair process, and share practical skills along the way. Open to the public and designed to empower you to repair your favorite items, this is a hands-on, educational experience rooted in sustainability and community connection. Interested in getting involved? Contact [email protected] to volunteer your skills, attend future events, or simply help us spread the word!
This event is part of the Community Environmental Council's A Year of Active Hope, a series of free events hosted at our Environmental Hub to unite the community and create space for courage, connection, and change."

We are looking for Fixers for our next Repair Cafe!
If you like to fix things and have skills you think will be useful please fill out this form bellow for more information!

Last #repaircafe #repair: local #ISDN phone exchange with audio issues from approx. 2004. Three electrolytic caps were definetely bad with internal resistance of at least 20 Ohms. They were right next to voltage regulators that idle at 50°C. No way to test it, but voltages are stabile again and the ripple voltage is now at <1% so I hope that was a successfull fix.
9 Watt idle for 22 Years, thats nearly 2 MWh!

Broken speaker? Finicky zipper? #Anticonsumerist #RepairCafes urge you to #FixIt instead of pitch it
Repair Cafes urge consumers to fix their goods, not toss them
By Michael Weissenstein, June 7, 2026
NEW PALTZ, N.Y. (AP) — "On a drizzly Saturday morning late last month, the basement of the New Paltz United Methodist Church filled with old lamps, blunt knives, malfunctioning sound mixers and balky zippers.
"About a dozen volunteers welcomed the broken goods and their owners to a worldwide movement that’s evangelizing new relationships between people and their things.
"Repair Cafes — free events where volunteers with technical know-how help neighbors fix myriad household items — are part of a new brand of anticonsumerism that’s trying to offer an alternative to the mass-produced disposable goods that have dominated the global economy for the last half-century. Helping fuel that move to repairing, not buying, are U.S. consumer prices, which climbed sharply again last month as the war with Iran delivered higher gasoline prices and more pain for Americans.
"After starting in the Netherlands with a single event in 2009, Repair Cafe has grown into a global nonprofit with more than 59,000 members, some 4,000 cafes and close to 850,000 items fixed a year.
" 'We need to change our mindset. We need to change the economy,' #RepairCafe founder #MartinePostma said. 'Even if Repair Cafes can’t solve the problem alone, then still they are a very clear sign that change is needed on a much higher level.' "

#PeterboroughNH - #MAXTMakerspace #RepairCafe - March 14, 2026
Every Second Saturday
10 AM - 2 PMMAXT Makerspace:
Noone Falls, 50 Jaffrey Road, Peterborough, NH, 03458"What do you do with a broken toaster? Or with a bike when the wheel runs out of alignment? Or with a sweater full of moth holes? MAxT is organizing New Hampshire's first Repair Cafe on the 2nd Saturday of each month to help you fix what's broken.
Our volunteer repair experts will be available to help you make all possible repairs. Tools and materials will also be on hand. You can bring your broken items from home. Repair stations will include small electronics, clothing, bikes, furniture, toys and jewelry - anything that is broken is welcome and more than likely can be repaired!
By promoting repairs, MAxT MAkerspace wants to help reduce mountains of waste, put neighbors in touch with each other in a new way and discover that a lot of know-how and practical skills can be found close to home.
The event is free but donations to the repair cafe are encouraged to keep this event going."
