A repair café workshop for Unity Park: help our neighbors in Liverpool

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a repair café workshop - we need $2,700 for materials.

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a repair café workshop. This year a group of 24 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Unity Park, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $970, and the remaining cost is $2,700. It will serve about 203 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in June 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 $2,700 goes: • Materials: $2,200 • Permits and inspections: $320 • Safety equipment and signage: $180 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

      Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Pune.

          Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Christian.

          • Christian MasonOwnerAnswerID verified

            Materials is $2,200 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.

        • Funmilayo Uche Lawal

          Stay strong, Christian. It takes guts to ask. Well done

          • Shakil Omar Bhuiyan

            Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.

            • Pieter Tshabalala

              Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

                This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
