Toolbox repair cafe

A repair cafe is a community event where volunteers repair items for people, while sharing skills. Tools are supplied by repairers and we have very limited supplies. If your repair needs parts, please bring them with you. Repairers can help with diagnosis and to determine which parts are required.

We’ll post the repairer list on the Friday before the event. Any last minute changes will be posted on Facebook.

No bookings required. Bring along your broken and not working items for our volunteer repairers. Please note our ‘House Rules’.

Enter from Aspinall Street.

Pol.is – finding what the people want

What action do Canberrans want our five MPs (MHRs and Senators) to take in 2026?

Be part of deciding.

The first step, on December 14, is where we will introduce you to Pol.is.  Pol.is is a tool that helps communities collect and prioritise ideas. 

Part 2 is in March when we will bring Canberrans and our MPs together for the conversation.

  1. December 14 – 1400 (2pm) Woden Valley (formerly St James) Uniting Church, Gillies Street, Curtin

  2. March 1 – 1400 (2pm), venue tba.
