I don't know how this search works as it doesn't list a few I know like the one in Pukekohe is not listed (See below)
At a glance:
There's a repair cafes where volunteers are repairing something you have brought. There are limits either in the size or number of items you bring. Read the small print etc.
There are also some workshops or group activities that teaches you how to mend your own stuff like sewing or patching etc.
Many of these have been happening on a regular basis, either weekly, fortnightly or monthly. For these what happens at each spot depends on the volunteers that show up and their ability.
The ones in Auckland do publicise their regular happenings on fb. There's also some who list in https://ourauckland.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/events/ or Eventfinda https://www.eventfinda.co.nz/search?q=repair
The search on eventfinda shows regular one of the regular ones in Pukekohe https://www.eventfinda.co.nz/2025/pukekohe-repair-cafe/auckland/pukekohe
Many use social media like fb or instagram to publicise their efforts. I don't know if there's any that use Mastodon
Repair Network Aotearoa also had a hand in trying to introduce the Right to Repair Bill

If you have skills do volunteer to help out at future events.
