A repair café workshop for the Jacaranda community hall: help our neighbors in Móstoles
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a repair café workshop - we need $450 for materials.

For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a repair café workshop. This year a group of 22 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Jacaranda community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $450.
It will serve about 201 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in April 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 $450 goes:
• Permits and inspections: $230
• Tools hire and delivery: $140
• Safety equipment and signage: $80
Every share and every dollar helps.
