Throw it out? NO WAY! Do you have an old toaster that won't toast? A laptop you can’t get to work? Some socks with holes? Throw them out? No way!
Bring them into our new repair cafe and our team of friendly volunteer repairers will try to fix them!
On the second Saturday of every month, Footscray and Westy locals can bring in your broken items, and hopefully have them fixed for free!
Footscray Repair Cafe sessions are held at Angliss Neighbourhood House on the 2nd Saturday of the month between 11am and 2pm.
*Last repairs accepted at 1.30pm

How does it work?
How can I get something repaired?
Head to our website (footscrayrepaircafe.au) and make a booking by filling out our repair request form. You are welcome to pop in to a session without a booking, but you might need to wait a while if our team is already busy. If we don't have a repairer on-site who can fix your item, we can arrange for you to come back another time. Where possible, visitors can also learn how to repair items yourselves, gaining valuable skills to extend the lifetime of your item!
Can I volunteer?
Yes please! We have an amazing team of volunteers already signed on but are always looking for more to share the load. If you have particular skills/interests and are keen to share them through this project, please give us a call on 03 9687 9908 or email [email protected] for more information. All of our volunteer repairers need to agree to follow our guidelines for working safely.
All welcome, come along and join with other Footscray locals as we rebel against the waste society, build our capacity, divert waste, save money and grow friendships!
*Thanks to Maribyrnong City Council Community Grants for helping us get this awesome project off the ground!
