Wish to volunteer. Woodworking skills including repair and restoration
Hi Gerard, thanks for offering to volunteer as a repairer, much appreciated. Could you please send your contact details to [email protected] so that we can add you to the repairer email group for comms re the upcoming event 6th March. Thank you
Sustainable Enniscorthy's second repair café was held last Saturday in Templeshannon Community & Childcare Centre and we had a great turn out with about 30 items brought for repair - from clocks to clothing and various different electrical items such as vacuum cleaners, a DVD player, garden strimmer, radios and heaters.
A massive thanks to our volunteer repairers - we couldn't do this without you, so a big thank you Ray, Sean, Joan, Geraldine, Paul and Jack for your support. And to everyone that brought something to be repaired - avoiding waste and keeping products in the economy for longer - you are contributing to a circular economy!
Follow us on Facebook to keep updated on the work of Sustainable Enniscorthy and more details on this repair café event.
