Repair Cafe Redcliffe Peninsula

Repair Cafe Redcliffe Peninsula Workshops on the 1st Saturday of each month between 8:30 AM - 11:30 AM. Book Now! Booking fee of $5.15. Visitors bring their broken items from home.

Our Mission:
The Repair Café Redcliffe Peninsula Inc (RCRP) will provide a space for a community Repair Café for the Redcliffe Peninsula area and our neighbours, to stop repairable and reusable items going to landfill. We are all Volunteers, repairing and maintaining household items, giving treasured possessions another life, helping to reduce living costs, reducing landfill, and helping our environment

The RCRP is a part of an overall plan to connect Redcliffe Peninsula community through bringing people together, supporting a circular economy model, providing an opportunity for skill development, and reducing landfill. Our Working Relationships:
The RCRP is extremely grateful to have a working relationship with the Redcliffe Uniting Church and many organisations and businesses in our Community. Background:
There are over 2,500 Repair Cafés worldwide, 14 in South-east Queensland, with the closest one at Sandgate. We work closely with the Repair Café Sandgate to help our broader community. Repair Cafés are free meeting places and they are all about repairing things (together). Tools and materials are supplied by Repairers, to help the people bringing items to repair the items, so the repairees are learning. Items typically repaired and maintained are household electrical items, clothes, furniture, bicycles, crockery, appliances, toys, et cetera. You’ll also find expert volunteers with repair skills in all kinds of fields. Together with the specialists they start making their repairs in the Repair Café. It’s an ongoing learning process. If you have nothing to repair, you can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee. Or you can lend a hand with someone else’s repair job. No onsite tools and equipment are required, Repairers bring their own. The Repair Café will not compete with professional repair specialists. Off street parking and disability access is available onsite at the Redcliffe Uniting Church. Repair Café house rules:
• The work carried out in the Repair Café is performed free of charge on a voluntary basis by the repair experts at hand.
• Visitors carry out the repairs themselves whenever possible, but repair experts on site can help if necessary.
• The fact that the repairs are being performed by unpaid volunteers reflects the allocation of risks and limitation of liability. Neither the organisers of the Repair Café nor the repair experts are liable for any loss that may result from advice or instructions concerning repairs, for the loss of items handed over for repair, for indirect or consequential loss or for any other kind of loss resulting from work performed in the Repair Café. The limitations set forth in these house rules shall not apply to claims declared justified on the basis of liability arising by virtue of applicable consumer protection legislation which cannot be lawfully superseded.
• A voluntary donation is greatly appreciated.
• Any use of new materials such as leads, plugs, fuses, ready-made knee bends or applications will be paid for separately.
• Visitors offering broken items for repair do so at their own risk.
• Experts making repairs offer no guarantee for the repairs carried out with their help and are not liable if objects that are repaired in the Repair Café turn out not to work properly at home.
• Repair experts are entitled to refuse to repair certain objects.
• Repair experts are not obliged to reassemble disassembled appliances that cannot be repaired.
• Visitors to Repair Café are solely responsible for the tidy removal of broken objects that could not be repaired.
• To cut down on unnecessary waiting times during busy periods, a maximum of ONE broken item per person will be examined. The visitor will join the back of the queue if there is a second item for repair.

What a great story about repairing and reuse, rather than dispose and buy new...

As Black Friday deals dominated shop windows and Christmas shopping is just around the corner, a small oasis in Floriana encouraged people to repair instead of replace.

Environmental NGO Friends of the Earth Malta hosted Roots and Reuse, a repair café held at their Floriana headquarters, just a stone’s throw away yet a world apart from the capital’s hustle and bustle.
