The workshop will cover:

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."

Save the date! September 26, 2026!
#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."

Ah, the Repair Café: because nothing screams efficient productivity like a room full of well-meaning #amateurs squinting at your broken toaster while sipping on overpriced coffee. ☕🔧 Who knew a little elbow grease and a few Google searches could turn a room full of idealists into tech support wannabes? 😂

#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."

I forgot to mention: if you're in the #YQR / Regina area, tomorrow (Saturday 8 August 2026) is the #Regina Repair Cafe for this month. It's at the Victoria Square Mall, so lots of parking. It runs 10am - 4pm.
If you have stuff that is not working or broken, there's a good chance one of us volunteers can fix it for you. And it's free! We help keep stuff from ending up in the landfill before its time, and save you the expense of having to replace it.
And yes, we fix stuff you can't get fixed "professionally" because no one fixes small appliances and whatnot any more, because everyone says "Just buy a new one, it's cheaper". Not everyone can afford to "just" replace stuff, and there's the whole environment thing.
I guess we're adding a fourth "R" to the circle of life: reduce, re-use, repair, recycle.
I'm just a volunteer, not an organizer or official publicist or anything like that. But come down and say "Hi".

#BathME - Last #RepairCafé of the year!
August 8, 2026
10:00 AM - 12:30 PM#PattenFreeLibrary
33 Summer St, Bath, ME 04530"Why replace when you can repair? Our expert volunteers will help repair your electronics, lamps, furniture, jewelry and small appliances; mend clothing, and sharpen tools.
If we are unable to repair your item we will make suggestions on where you can find the parts and learn how to do the repair or have it professionally repaired. This is a first come, first served program and depending on the turnout we can’t guarantee we will be able to help everyone or repair every item. Please bring your items with you to the library.
Presented in partnership with the #CurtisMemorialLibrary, #HabitatForHumanity #ReStore, and #Merrymeeting Community and Adult Education. Repair Café will rotate between locations."

For anyone in the UK #WestMidlands , #Warwickshire, #Coventry, #Rugby. #Kenilworth area, here is a handy sheet that one of the wonderful #RepairCafe volunteers put together.
-
Today was this month's Repair Cafe in my city. I think it also marks a full year I've been volunteering at them. I enjoy it a lot.
After last months good results - everything brought to me successfully fixed *except* one item - I got exactly the same result today. A bunch of successes, and one failure. And it's a weird and annoying coincidence - they are basically the same thing, #Sony all-in-one bookshelf #stereo systems. You know the type, they're on the order of a cubic foot and look like a small stack of stereo equipment units, but it's just a cosmetic look. Inside, the tuner, preamp, amp, CD player / changer, tape deck are all one thing. #Boombox in a suit, basically.
Both times, I figured out what was wrong - but I couldn't get to the bits I needed to actually fix them. I got stumped trying to take the front #fascia off the chassis. There's usually a few screws to take the back and/or top off, and then some #clips holding the front fascia to the (usually) one-piece sheet metal sides and bottom. Taking a #spudger to them releases all along the top and sides, but at the bottom of the fascia, it doesn't release - there's something weird about the clips I can't see, and I don't see any #screws responsible, inside or out. I don't want to force it more than I have because it will break.
Any Sony-heads out there know the secret with these things? They're from the 80s and 90s, at least the ones brought into me.
-
The next #Regina Repair Cafe is tomorrow! Boy, time flies. It seems like just a month ago that we did the last one.
This one is at the Victoria Square mall. It runs from 10am to 4pm as usual. Advance bookings of repair appointments have closed, but they do take walk-ins when time and volunteers are available - I've never seen a walk-in turned away. For some reason, lots of people book appointments and then don't show up, so there's a fair bit of time freed up from that.
I'm just a volunteer, not an organizer. If you have electronics, small appliances, tools or "general repairs" that could use a (free!) look-at, diagnosis, and possible repair, come down and see me. That's my usual remit.
Virtually anything else can also be looked at; there are many volunteers covering every possible category from bicycle fixes to repairing garments to tuning up guitars.
Helping to keep stuff in the hands of people that use it, rather than it ending up in the landfill for want of a small repair, is rewarding for me.

REPAIR CAFÉ
Afgelopen juli liep ik nieuwsgierig het Repair Café binnen in wijkcentrum De Meent in Amstelveen. Voor me gingen twee dames naar binnen met een kar waar je U tegen zegt – met daarop een apparaat dat eruitzag alsof het rechtstreeks uit een sciencefictionfilm kwam.

#TuscaloosaPublicLibrary To Host #RepairCafe
The #Tuscaloosa Public Library will once again host its Repair Cafe on Saturday, July 12.
by Ryan Phillips, Posted Thu, Jun 26, 2025
"The event will be held from noon until 3 p.m., with the first installment earlier this year giving nearly 300 patrons the chance to learn how to repair electronics, small appliances, clothing, jewelry, furniture, #bicycles, and more.
"Volunteers will provide their time and repair skills to diagnose and fix broken household items, sharing their knowledge with patrons so they too can become repairers.
"Past Repair Cafes have served 255 people, with volunteers attempting 96 repairs so far, with 53 completed and 20 partly completed, marking a success rate of 76%.
"The library says 260 pounds of trash have been saved from the landfill, with volunteers fixing scooters, cuckoo clocks, and even a Coleman camp stove.
"The event will also feature a #TakeItApartTable where children can experiment by taking apart items like laptops and coffee makers."

#OrilliaOntario - Need something fixed? #Orillia #RepairCafé returning in April
Event taking place April 5 at St. James' Anglican Church
Mar 14, 2025
"Local residents are invited to bring their broken or torn possessions to St. James’ Church on Saturday, April 5 (11 a.m. to 3 p.m.), where 'fixers' will be on hand to make repairs and turn their 'trash' into 'treasure' at the eighth Orillia Repair Café, which takes place twice a year.
"The event is supported by local volunteers and Sustainable Orillia, St. James’ Anglican Church and Lake Country Time Trade.
"Light refreshments will be provided as well as child-friendly activities. A new feature this year will be '#BookSwaps,' one for adults and one for children. The café has a friendly and fun ambience and combines an enjoyable family activity with a rewarding outcome.
"Annalise Stenekes has led the project since its inception and has gathered a dedicated and talented team of fixers who will attempt to repair a variety of items, including bicycles, lamps, home appliances, sewing machines, jewelry and audio/visual and computer equipment. Small furniture items will be repaired, clothing and footwear mended and toys given new life.
"Last year, 230 kilograms of items were given a new lease on life, diverting potential waste from the #landfill and saving an estimated $1,000.
"'#Repairing and #reusing broken items, as opposed to disposing of them and purchasing new ones, is a practical and meaningful contribution we can make for our environment,' says local resident Wendy Kirk. 'The Repair Café is also a feel-good place — at times the joy is tangible when someone’s prized item is restored to its former usefulness.'
"Repair Café events are happening around the world, saving money, reducing landfill waste, cutting CO2 emissions, promoting learning and fostering community connections."
