REPAIR REVOLUTION BRINGING BELONGINGS BACK TO LIFE Free repair event this Sunday
Wānaka locals are invited to bring their wellloved belongings back to life at Wastebusters’ free Repair Revolution event this Sunday. Taking place at the Wānaka Community Workshop at 15 Gordon Road, from 10.00am to 2.00pm on Sunday, 30 August, the event will bring together skilled local volunteers who are generously sharing their time and knowledge to help keep useful items in use for longer. People can bring along one item in need of some care, including bikes, small electrical items, clothing, homewares and more. The team will do its best to help, with repairs depending on the skills, tools and time available on the day. Visitors will sit alongside their repairer, discover
how to fix their belongings, and hopefully leave with a useful new skill. Event organiser Abi Hurford Abel said Repair Revolution events are as much about bringing the community together as they are about fixing things. “These days are always so wholesome and easy-going. It’s wonderful to see people connecting, sharing knowledge and working together to give good items a longer life,” she said.
