Description

We must be doing something right when Host venues are welcoming us back! We’re delighted to be back with U3A Gransha later this month, so If you have something broken, or in need of some TLC – or if you want to learn how to stitch that much loved garment back to its former glory, then look no further. Our team of fixers makers and menders will be on hand to help! #Zerowaste #CircularEconomy U3A Foyle Members

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.
