South Dunedin Street Festival Community Repair Station
The Dunedin Gasworks Museum is proud to be coordinating another community repair event as part of the South Dunedin Street Festival on Saturday.
The Festival Repair Station will be a haven for anyone struggling with glitchy computers, dodgy phones, ripped clothes, wonky bikes, and damaged small appliances.
Dunedin has some outstanding community organisations working in the field of community repair and reuse, and we're delighted to be hosting many of them on Saturday, including Stitch Kitchen, Com2Tech, Southern Youth Development, and ReGear. We'll also be hosting a Free Shop managed by the team from Synergy Wellness, and a community sewing project run by Sew On Period Care, so there's plenty for customers to do while they wait for their repair, and the Festival will be in full swing just outside.
South Dunedin Community Network rooms, 278a King Edward St, 10am - 3pm, Sat 8 March

Every movement has a story, and ours began with Christine Keller. Watch as she shares her journey from Hamburg, Germany, to Dunedin, New Zealand, and how she started it all with one mission - to make sustainable, affordable, and personalised period care a reality for everyone and help people who menstruate take ownership of their bodies through knowledge and upliftment.

Through Sew On, we've created a global community, breaking the cycle of period poverty and reducing waste by empowering people with the freedom of choice and knowledge.

But this isn't just Christine's story, or Sew On's, it is yours too!

You can be the pioneer of change and pave the way for generations to come. We're inviting you to join us for , an initiative designed to help you explore sustainable period care in a supportive and inclusive environment.

It begins with you!

Join us for and let's sew a beautiful future together.
