Napier Repair Café will have sewers (hand and machine) bicycle repair people, jewellery repair, general items and toys, small appliances, and someone to help you out with your computer issues. We will also be running a tamariki zone with colouring and toys, and a Take Apart Table for the kids. We have home baking and coffee and tea available, and a 'Sustainable Library' where people can borrow books about DIY, climate change, repair, minimalism, gardening and zero waste for free and return them to the café the following month.
Helen Howard started Napier Repair Café because she thinks it's an important skill sharing exercise to build community connectedness and resilience.
