We are proud to announce that we have been awarded another grant from Knox City Council's Community Development Fund for 2025-2026. This $15,000 will enable us to further scale up the Knox Repair Cafe team and extend our reach within the Knox community. In the last twelve months we have also developed a Repair Online Matching Platform to allow you to make bookings and make best use of our expert repairers. This will be launched in the New Year. We have also been lucky enough to secure a Minor Grant from Knox City Council to better equip our sessions.
