Volunteer Opportunity: Chair Restoration
Wondernauts, a not-for-profit community childcare located in the beautiful grounds of Ruakura, has recently acquired a child-sized vintage wooden armchair (circa 1950–70s) that we would like to refresh for use by our children.
While the chair is in generally good condition, the cover is quite old and the seat area is saggy. We haven’t taken it apart ourselves, so we’re not sure whether it just needs the seat cushion replaced or if the springs, webbing, or other components also need attention.
The back upright includes a wooden panel on the back side. The wooden arms are in reasonable condition, so it would be up to you to decide whether to resurface them or leave them as they are.
What We’d Like:
This is a great opportunity for someone with skills in furniture restoration or upholstery to make a tangible contribution to our childcare environment.
Getting started:
The first step is to express your interest by filling out the form below.
We will then put you in touch directly with the organisation for more information on the role and how to proceed.
