The Bower Re-use & Repair Centre

The Bower is an environmental charity with strong outreach into the social sector. Through our activities, we reduce waste and CO2 emissions; reduce our ecological footprint; and outreach to social causes by assisting members of the community who are vulnerable and disadvantaged. For over 25 years we have pioneered waste reduction through the reclamation of household goods, reuse and repair initiatives such as workshops, repair cafes, bespoke recycled materials, and resale at affordable prices of repurposed and preloved goods.

Using reclaimed and recycled materials we run courses including the building of tiny house courses, DIY, woodworking, upholstery, furniture repairs, bike maintenance, electrical, and clothing repairs. We have workshop sites in Redfern and Summer Hill.
