We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a repair café workshop - we need $350 for materials.

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a repair café workshop. This year a group of 15 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Union bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $70, and the remaining cost is $350. It will serve about 261 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in November and everyone is invited. We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $350 goes: • Materials: $220 • Permits and inspections: $20 • Safety equipment and signage: $40 • Tools hire and delivery: $70 Thanks for reading all this. - Sana

    Is there anything that isn't money that would help Sana?
