Sustainable Enniscorthy Repair

We throw away vast amounts of stuff - stuff which could get a new lease of life after a simple repair. Lots of people have forgotten that they can repair things themselves or they no longer know how. Repair Cafés are free meeting places where people come together to repair things together. In a local Repair Café, you’ll find tools and materials to help you make any repairs you need on clothes, furniture, electrical appliances, bicycles, crockery, appliances, toys, etc. You'll also find expert volunteers, with repair skills in all kinds of fields. Visitors bring their broken items from home and in the Repair Café, they start making their repairs with the specialists. It’s an ongoing learning process.

Repair Cafés help people in the community whose skills may not always be valued to get involved again. It helps neighbours from different backgrounds connect with each other and allows valuable practical knowledge to be shared. Repairing things at a Repair Cafe means things are being used for longer and don’t have to be thrown away. This reduces the volume of raw materials and energy needed to make new products.

Here is a photo of our ottoman in our sitting room. It's upside down! The little wheels underneath keep coming off. I need to get a board nailed to the underside, visible here & then have the wheels screwed onto that. Much better idea. I hope the skilled Men's Shed carpenters can help at our Repair Café on Saturday! I'll let y'all know how I get on :)

Preparations for Enniscorthy's first Repair Café are moving along nicely and it was great to meet last week to move things along. Registering on the Eventbrite Page is recommended but we will be welcoming walk-ins on the day too!

Promotion for our first repair cafe on 17 June at the Presentation Arts Centre is now full steam ahead! For info and to register to attend, see the events link. This is a free community event, but by registering it helps us to plan - not only to find out what items people are planning to bring for repair, but also to register your interest in volunteering to be a repairer - all skills welcomed!

An update on tonight's planning meeting for our repair cafe project. We are currently looking into potential venues, connecting with other Enniscorthy community groups to identify potential fixers, find out more about insurance needs and setting down in writing the who/what/when/how/where for our first event. We are aiming for a June repair cafe all going to plan!

The Northern Ireland Resources Network have put together a short video with hints and tips on running a repair cafe (see link) which has given us some inspiration! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7OMFnkP0rA

If any members would like to join our next catch up meeting (online) 8pm Tuesday 18 April let me know by posting here and I will share a meeting link
