The Repair Revolution is back for 2025!
10am – 2pm on Saturday 15th Feb at Salvation Army in Frankton (down behind the High School).𝐒𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧?
In a nutshell, you bring your broken items to us, and our repair ninjas will try to fix them! For free!
I bet you have some stuff around the house that needs fixing. A bike that chooses its own gear, a vacuum that sucks at sucking, a lamp that’s as bright as your ex, or a pair of jeans that paid the price for that dancefloor knee slide on New Year? You’re in luck; our team of repair experts will do their best to fix your stuff — and the best part? They’ll do it for free.
Plus, you’ll get to spend time with our fixers as they repair your stuff, learn some repair skills for yourself and pick up some tips on how to buy better and choose products that will last a lifetime.
𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐄 𝐈𝐍𝐕𝐎𝐋𝐕𝐄𝐃? There are 2 ways…
𝟏. You might be a repair superstar yourself — we’re looking for you too! We are always on the hunt for fixers to join our team. We run 5 repair events per year and if you are handy at fixing appliances, bikes, furniture, electronics or are a wizard behind a sewing machine, give us a yell, we’d love to have you join our fun, welcoming and enthusiastic crew of volunteers.
𝟐. Or maybe you just want to lend a hand — we can use your help too, event volunteers help make the Revolution possible, so let us know if you’re handy with a clipboard, a meet and greet master or make a mean cup of tea.
Email Scott if you want to help -> scott@sustainablequeenstown.org.nz We’d LOVE to have you!
The Repair Revolution is part of the Resourceful Communities programme, which was created by the Wastebusters legends and proudly supported by Queenstown Lakes District Council’s Zero Waste District Programme. We (Sustainable Queenstown) deliver the programme on this side of the hill!
