Repair Cooperative

Repair Cooperative Together we fix, mend and teach each other skills to keep stuff out of landfill. We host a repair cafe at the Hughes Community Centre. See repaircafe.org. Thanks!

Bring your broken clothes, furniture and household objects. We are a community group of volunteers working together to fix and recycle everyday things. Come visit us and fix things together, from 10-1pm on the second Saturday of every month, at the Canberra Environment Centre. We are currently looking for new volunteers to assist with social media, so if we can't get back to you, please try contacting the Canberra Environment Centre.

This June we are trialing a digital photo restoration service.

Have you an old photo that is faded, torn or otherwise damaged? Or maybe you’d just like a digital copy to email to family or friends.

Coralie can scan it and use computer software to give you a copy in digital format to share by email and/or to print.

We get the best results if the photo is A4 size or smaller and is not in a frame. Otherwise, please bring a large dark cloth to put over it to keep light out of the scanner. You will get the result in a few days and, except by agreement, the file will be deleted from Coralie’s computer when you advise her that you have received the photo..

Meet our repairers!

This is John l, one of our electricians 🙂🔌🧑‍🔧

John volunteers with us because he loves getting to fix things and by volunteering at the repair cafe he gets to learn new things. Many of the household appliances that John repairs at the cafe didn't exist during his apprenticeship.

In his spare time John is an avid gardener.

Come down to our cafe on Saturday 8 March and say g'day to John!
