Congratulations to KES President Richard Faragher on his recent award.

KES Knox Environment Society has been fundamental in the inception and growth of Knox Repair Cafe and Richard's support has been invaluable. This accolade is well deserved 👏 👌

It is with heavy hearts that we farewell Dr Mark Glazebrook, the Founding Director and inspiration behind Knox Repair Cafe. Moving on to a new phase in life, Mark leaves behind a legacy of expertise, enthusiasm, mentoring and humanity. We owe Mark a huge debt of gratitude and wish him every happiness going forward.
Knox Repair Cafe will continue his good work and forge ahead over the coming years. Gone but never forgotten! 🙂

Meet Mark Glazebrook — founder of Knox Repair Cafe, and the reason a lot of broken things in Knox get a second life!

We caught him at the Knox Volunteer Expo, talking about why community repair matters, and why the people behind the workbench are the real story.

A few of the success stories from our Millers Homestead session today. ✂️

Alex taught 3 lovely ladies to create a patch pocket on a flannel shirt, re-elasticate a pair of pants, and finally used denim from an old pair of jeans to create a new gusset in a reusable shopping bag. 👖

It's never too late to breathe new life into well-loved items! 🧵🪡
