Repair Cafe

Repair cafe - Toss It? No Way!

Bring your household items that need repairing such as: electrical goods, clothing, bicycles, and furniture.

There is a three step process of assessment:
Step 1 – Assess whether an item is repairable;
Step 2 – Identify whether the item can be repaired by the Repair Café
Step 3 – Advise of alternative local repair options if the Repair Café is unable to repair the item

The Eurobodalla Repair Cafe Story

Our First Repair Cafe was held on Friday 28 August 2020 at the Red Door Hall, Anglican Parish St John’s Way, Moruya. Since then, it has been held weekly (except for a break over Christmas).

Repair Cafe and SHASA volunteer Valerie Faber said “The Repair Cafe assists in seeing our possessions in a new light and appreciating their value. By repairing household items we extend their life and can save them from landfill and ultimately save money. It also shows people how repairing their broken items can be fun, as well as rewarding, because they will gain valuable practical knowledge that they can use to fix other things around the house.”

“SHASA would like to thank Dave Neyle from the Bega Valley Repair Cafe for his advice and support and also the Repair Cafe Netherlands Foundation which has helped Repair Cafes to get started all over the world. The Eurobodalla Repair Cafe will be the 43rd repair Cafe in Australia ” said Kathryn Maxwell, President, SHASA.
