One small repair can save money, reduce waste, and keep a favourite item going for years longer.

Every second Sunday of the month, the South Canterbury Eco Centre turns into a busy little workshop powered by generous community volunteers. One volunteer might be fixing a lamp, another patching someone’s favourite jeans, while nearby a bike gets tuned up and someone learns a new sewing skill over a cup of tea.

Our volunteer repairers help give broken, damaged, and well-loved items a second chance. It’s also a chance to learn new skills, build community connections, and share conversations with others.
