Description

The Big Fix in the Great Hall ( and our first birthday, yay)

Repair Cafe Foyle is supporting The BIG FIX 2023 by holding an event on 27th May in the Great Hall at Ulster University Magee Campus. Visitors are welcome to drop in with broken household items for our skilled menders to fix. The event will run from 10am – 1pm and free parking is available on site for the day. There is a lift that takes you to the Great Hall.

Repair Cafe Foyle Coordinator, Caroline McGuinness-Brooks says “ The Big Fix coincides with our 1st Birthday, we’re really excited to welcome our past host venues to celebrate with us and hope to see lots of new faces & volunteers on the day too. Community repair is a celebration!”

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.
