Cheers to a sense of community

2/12/2018

 
By Jenny Lindsay
We love mixing and mingling with our visitors every month at the Melbourne Repair Cafe. It’s what we’re all about. The need to repair something brings people in to find a fixer, and the enjoyment of connecting with a fun and friendly bunch keeps people around for a coffee and a chat.

We wanted to help our visitors feel welcome, to know who to ask for advice among a busy crowd. And you know, after a month has passed, it can be hard to remember who was who when you come back for a second visit.

You wanna go where everybody knows your name!

Cheers to Maddie, Matt and Lucy for creating these eye-catching nametags for our crew at the Melbourne Repair Cafe (Inner West). They are an amazing team of Monash University students doing their Honours research on skillsharing and collaboration with the public through design.

These are such a wonderful addition to our sense of community with our fixers and helpers, and so our visitors can feel welcomed by a team of hosts proudly sporting the Repair Cafe logo.

Made of offcut pieces of wood, they’re keeping with our zero waste goals, and we can now do away with disposable stickers.

Well done Maddie and team! We’re absolutely thrilled with our new badges!​
