Sustainable Living Month
On Saturday 25th Feb from 10am - 2pm Zero Waste Victoria will be taking over the Atrium at Fed Square to hold a mend it fix it session. Where you can bring along your broken things to be fixed for FREE!
We’ll be joined by St Kilda Repair cafe, Brunswick Maker Community along with other clever volunteers. They will be on hand to help you learn how to patch and repair your clothes, and fix your broken things. Items which can be repaired include electronics, electrical appliances, clothing & textiles, jewellery, toys, bicycles, furniture, homewares, and more.
It's free to come, and registering helps the repairers to prepare.
