Good news to share!

Sustainable Enniscorthy were delighted to win 1st prize at last night's 'Keep Wexford Beautiful' Competition 2024 which is run by Wexford County Council for our repair café project under the category 'Best Community Waste Prevention/Re-use Project'.

Sustainable Enniscorthy also won 2nd prize for taking part in Global Action Plan Ireland's Climate Heroes community climate challenge, which won in the category 'Best Community Project that tackles and reduces the impact of climate change'. Repair and reuse were climate actions that could be tracked in this challenge.

Hi everyone, after a quiet few months really happy to announce that Sustainable Enniscorthy is preparing for its fourth repair cafe - on Saturday 23 November 2.30pm - 4.30pm at Templeshannon Childcare & Community Centre !

For now please save the date, gather your items for repair, tell your friends and follow Sustainable Enniscorthy on Facebook for all the latest alerts. Information on registration will follow here shortly too!

Sustainable Enniscorthy has been really thrilled by the positive response to the three repair cafés we have run to date and we are looking forward to running another in the autumn. Repair cafes are growing in momentum around the world.
