Volunteers at a Restart Party fixing devices, cropped on hands

Description

Come along to Repair Café Foyle and save the planet by getting your broken stuff fixed for free!

Our volunteers will have a wee go at fixing almost anything including woodwork, textiles, small household electrical items, bikes, laptops – if you can easily carry it into the venue, we’ll give it a go! 

When you arrive, one of our volunteers will give you a ticket and you can relax with a cuppa and a wee bun, or take part in our interactive Wheel of Climate Fortune game, until a fixer is free to try to work their magic on your broken item.

You’ll sit with your fixer to learn about their work, and we love hearing your stories about why you want to bring your broken goods back to life. 

So if you hate waste and are repair curious – get yourselves along for some tea, craic and fixing fun.

Drop-in EVENT. No need to book

About the group

Group avatar

Repair Café Foyle

Repair Café Foyle is a 'Repair & Share Foyle' project, initially incubated under the charity, Zero Waste North West, before becoming an independent community interest company.

To date, we have formed a core team of volunteers willing to 'have a wee go' at doing basic repairs on bikes, small household electrical items, woodwork, mechanicals such as sewing machines and clocks, and of course a strong textile team - that includes a leather specialist.

We travel around our community to host venues and are excited to develop our project further. We are very grateful to the team at Repair Cafe Belfast, who has given us invaluable advice as we embarked on our journey. We are also members of the Northern Ireland Resources Network - working to promote sustainable reuse and repair across Northern Ireland.
