Our Events
July Clean Up – Puna Rere Drive
Saturday 25th July 2026, 10:00am – 12:00pm
This months cleanup is based on Puna Rere Drive. It hasn’t been long since we cleaned this area but unfortunately someone has dumped waste in the bushes along the roadside. We will be cleaning up along the path and in the bushes predominantly and some roadside litter accessible from edges.
Where: We will meet on Puna Rere Drive near the entrance to Denby Reserve (Fishbone Park).
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. There is some space at the location for parking.
August Repair Cafe
Saturday 15th August, 1:30pm – 4pm
Reyburn Art 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.
Repair skills available this month:Will be shared about 2 weeks before the event.
