Ever wished you could give your worn-out clothes or well-loved furniture a second life? Now you can!Join us at our weekly Repair Café every Saturday from 10am-2pm!
The Full Circle Collective, located at 437 Hunter Street, is a community-driven space where sustainability meets hands-on creativity. Equipped with workbenches, sewing machines, and a variety of tools, this initiative is designed to empower our community to embrace repair, reuse, and upcycling.
What we repair:
� Clothing
� Textiles
� Small furniture
� Toys
� Carpentry
Cost:
Repairs = Pay-what-you-can donation - to keep repair accessible and encourage repair over disposal. Donations help us pay our sewists fairly and keep this service accessible to everyone.
Alterations = Set pricing - because they are elective and often more complex. Please ask to see our pricing list. It costs us approximately $1.40 per minute to operate the repair space.
This is based on:
- Skilled sewist wages
- Consumables (thread, needles, machine wear, electricity)
- Admin + space costs
When you repair with us, you’re not just fixing an item - you’re supporting a small, local environmental charity that champions reuse over waste. Repair keeps clothing in use, reduces waste, and builds skills.
Donations help us pay our sewists fairly and keep this service accessible to everyone.
While you're visiting The Full Circle Collective you can also:
� Browse the circular economy hub featuring products from over 50 local suppliers.
� Pick up your Sprocket coffee beans (BYO Container!)
�Bring your containers and get refills for all your household cleaning and laundry products!
***We’re very grateful for the kind support of City of Newcastle for helping fund this initiative through their Sustainability Grants program.
