Volunteers Welcome!

"Upper Beacy Bags" is a community-driven group using the Boomerang Bag model to create reuseable, environmentally sustainable bags for our community. They create a range of different bags including shopping bags, library bags and cutlery pouches using donated materials.

The team meets fortnightly Tuesday during the school term and everyone is most welcome to come along and lend a hand with cutting, ironing on patches & sewing. Or simply pop in to say hello & have a cuppa.

Term 1 dates: 

3rd & 24th February 

10th & 24th March

10th March - Mend-It Cafe

If you have any materials to donate, please drop them in at the office or at one of the workshops. Donations of working sewing machines & overlockers are also very welcome.

Bags are available for sale in Upper Beaconsfield from the Community Centre, Foodworks & Up the Hill Bakery.

Keep it simple - buttons, hems, seams etc. Bring clothing or other small items in need of repair (limit 3 items per person), and a member of our Boomerang Bags group will fix your item/s.
