Since November 2017:

On average, our fixers and menders have fixed or ‘almost fixed’ two out of every three items brought in and saved over a tonne of items from landfill!

If you’re interested in helping keep the St Kilda Repair Cafe up and running, or if you have any other questions about it, please contact John Hillel:

– by phone 9807 9653

– or fill in the form on our Get involved page.

Please note: 

All our fixers are VOLUNTEERS, and there is no charge made for the fixes they do. However any donations people would like to make are welcomed to help us cover our costs (website, glues & other materials used from time to time.)

Our Repair Cafes are (usually!) held on the second Sunday of every month from March to December, 2-5 pm. Covid-19 restrictions have affected this (like so much else) in 2020, but WATCH THIS SPACE for 2021!
