Break the record.

On Saturday 7 November 2026, councils and organisations across Australia will open their doors for a simultaneous, record-breaking mass-repair moment. People bring a garment that needs love - a button that's fallen off, a seam that's split, a favourite tee with a tear - and menders help them fix it on the spot.
No sewing experience needed. No judgement. Just the quiet joy of keeping something going a little longer.
The inaugural Great Global Mend launched in Perth in 2025 with great results! This year, we're aiming even higher.
2025 - The first Great Global Mend
2026 - Help us go bigger on 7 November
The Great Global Mend is on Saturday 7 November 2026. Start times vary by venue - check your local site for specific times, parking, registeration, and what to bring. Then turn up with something that needs mending.
