Calling anyone with something that needs fixing – don’t throw it away, Wellsford Wastebusters may be able to help, when they stage a pop-up Repair Café on Easter Sunday, April 17.

The group will be setting up shop in the Wellsford Community Centre from 1pm to 4pm with a group of talented experts who can fix such things as bikes, fabric, china and so on.

Organiser Jerusha Tucker says Wastebusters is really happy to be able to run the event at last, after delays due to Covid restrictions, and she is looking forward to welcoming the whole community.

Anyone who could help out at the Repair Café, either by offering particular fixing or mending skills, or by assisting on the food, drink and refreshments side, should contact Jerusha on 020 4070 1588 or email wellsfordwastebusters@mahurangiwastebusters.nz
