Monthly Commitment

Transition Bondi (Mend & Remake)

Mend & Remake is a community repair and upcycling program, and we’re always keen to welcome new volunteers.

You don’t need to be a sewing expert or a marketing pro (though we love those too). What matters most is being friendly, curious, and happy to help in whatever way feels right for you.

You can get involved in one task, one event, or over the long term. There’s no pressure to do everything.

Marketing and communications

Sewing support volunteers (beginner to experienced)

You don’t need to be an expert sewer to help. We welcome sewists of all levels, from beginners through to advanced makers.

Depending on your experience and comfort level, sewing volunteers may:

Demonstrate basic sewing and mending techniques
Help participants fix, alter or repair garments
Support darning, patching, hemming and simple alterations
Assist with creative upcycling and garment transformations
Show participants how to safely use sewing machines and overlockers
Help troubleshoot sewing issues and problem-solve repairs
Suggest suitable materials or techniques for different garments
Provide hands-on guidance while encouraging people to learn and try things themselves

You can choose what you’re comfortable helping with. Some volunteers focus on simple repairs, others on creative upcycling, and some just help people get started.

Who can volunteer

Experienced or beginner sewists
Organisers and planners
Social media and marketing helpers
Anyone who wants to support a creative, social, sustainability-focused project

Our vibe
