The Bower Repair Cafés
Meeting place to foster repair in a collaborative setting
Engage in repair, learn new skills, share the ones you already know, and feel good about giving back to the planet.
On alternating Saturdays, the Bower will host themed repair cafes in the Banga Community Shed. We’ll bring electrical, clothing, bike and phone repair cafes into the space, to enable the community to repair, learn skills and promote reuse.
