Ms Kings-Lynne found the perfect person in co-organiser Elle Gonzales-Skuja to kick off Repair Cafe Perth, and things snowballed.
“We’re looking for more volunteers on the organisational side to make the cafe stronger and share the load,” she said.
“Apart from repairing and saving items from landfill, people have a reason to get together and collaborate.”
