Adelaide Sustainability Centre

Adelaide City Repair Cafe – Volunteer with Us
Adelaide Sustainability Centre has received funding from Fund My Neighbourhood to run a bimonthly repair cafe, starting March 2018. The Adelaide City Repair Cafe will share knowledge and skills on repairing items and aims to reduce non-recyclable waste.
It will be a place where neighbours can meet and repair items such as furniture, clothing, jewellery, and electrical items, with support from specialist volunteers, in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Volunteer repair experts will take the time to explain the repair process to every participant, helping them to learn new skills and understand the benefits of repairing and reusing.
Adelaide Sustainability Centre is also now recruiting volunteer fixers, and a range of vollies to take part in this exciting project.
If you love to tinker, can help with repairs and could bring your toolbox.  Any contribution welcome, including, clothing repairs/alteration, electrical repairs (must have appropriate certifications), furniture and other woodworking repairs, jewellery and more. If you don’t have repair skills but could help with registration, photographing, coordination or promotion, please contact the Centre.
Location; The Joinery 111 Franklin Street  Adelaide, SA 5000. For more information visit:
