Come to a Repair Café in Hamilton

Green Venture proudly promotes Repair Cafés across Hamilton, helping give broken items a second life and keeping waste from landfills. Do you have a broken household item? Don’t throw it away! Save it for the next Repair Café.

These are typically fixed by volunteer menders and fixers, free of charge fixing:

  • Small electronics
  • Clothing and textiles
  • Basic wooden furniture
  • Bicycles
  • And much more! Check our events calendar for upcoming Repair Cafés, and follow us on social media to stay in the loop.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who are Menders?

Menders are volunteers who are skilled at repairing household items. The team of menders who volunteer for Repair Cafe’s have a variety of expertise, from small electronics, clothes, wooden objects, and leather goods, to toys and bikes, among others.

What kind of help can I expect from a Mender?

Your Mender will repair your item and bring your beloved item back to life. You can request advice and guidance and carry out the repair yourself. Please note that repairs are not guaranteed. However, we do our best to help you find a business that can. In addition, please respect that the focus for clothing fixes is on repair rather than alterations.

Will it be safe to make these repairs?
