Get your objects fixed for free! Volunteers try to repair items destined for landfill. Get your objects fixed for free! \nRepair Cafés are described as “free pop-up events” where local people can bring in their “broken or damaged belongings” to local volunteers\, who do their best to repair or assess them. \nTauranga is joining the global movement with its own Repair Café with a volunteer driven initiative as part of Tinkd Makerspace. \nAccording to a spokesperson\, Repair Cafés aim to reduce waste and overconsumption. \nThey also encourage and foster the “do it yourself” spirit and strengthen social connections by bringing different members of the community together. \n“The purpose of these events is two-fold: to try to change our “throwaway culture” and to bring people in the community together. An added bonus is that it saves people money\,” says founder of Tinkd Makerspace\, Steven Vincent. \n“If their item can be repaired they don’t need to replace it\, pay for more expensive repairs elsewhere\, or send it to the landfill. If the item can’t be repaired\, then at least we’ve tried! \nFor more information and tickets to the next Repair Café event\, visit the Tinkd website. \nWhen: Last Saturday of the month\nTime: 9.30am – 11.30am\nWhere: Tinkd Makerspace\, 148 Durham St Tauranga \nThe organisers are looking for more volunteer repairers with different skill sets to add to the events. It’s free to attend with an item but pre-booking an item is preferred as it allows the organisers to prepare for any repairs.
