Our Events
Te One Street Ruakaka Clean Up
Sunday 12th October 2025, 10:00am – 12:00pm
We’re coming back to the corner of Sime road and Te One Street near the Marsden Substation because unfortunately others have returned to fly tip again too.
We will need all hands on deck to try and haul this lot out. The photos to the left are only some of many piles scattered in our environment and near our beach.
We will provide:
high vis vests, gloves, sanitizer, sunblock, first aid, water, and collection gear to help pick things up
– Good shoes for uneven surfaces
– Great attitude
Parking: please park with consideration to other road users.
October Repair Cafe
Saturday 18th October, 1:30pm – 4pm
Reyburn Studio, 28 Reyburn House Lane, Townbasin
At our monthly events volunteers donate their time to help you repair your items. If you know the specific part needed to repair your item, we ask that you bring it along. Please ensure you bring all the parts (plugs etc) and clean out crumbs and empty water before bringing your items in.
We’re happy to help you learn how to repair. We are not repair professionals, Repair Cafes are a community self-repair space. Attending means that you take responsibility for your own item.
*New skill* embroidery patches, sewing, darning, heavy duty sewing, tool and knife sharpening, electrical repair, general repair, kintsugi
