Our Events
Te One Street, Ruakaka Clean Up
Sunday 15th February 2026, 10:00am – 12:00pm
We’re coming back to finish what we started in October last year.
Where: Head down Sime Road and enter at the corner of Te One Street, Ruakaka, next to the Marsden Substation. We will base ourselves further down the track this time closer to the tree line. You can drive down, walk or carpool if worried about roughness of the track.
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.
February Repair Cafe
Saturday 21st February, 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* air filled items (lilos, plastic balls etc), sharpening, electrical, kintsugi, sewing, darning, heavy duty sewing, teddy surgery, general, wood working
