In 2026, Repair Cafes Strabane re-launched as a locally-based project, led by a dedicated team of fixing volunteers and community members. 

Building on the work done by Repair and Share Foyle, which held occasional community repair events in the town between 2022 and 2026, the new local group hopes to be able to offer more regular repair sessions and get more of the community involved! 

New volunteers are very welcome to help the project get up and running. Help with organising events, baking, serving refreshments and getting the word out are needed just as much as repair skills. Email us to get involved. 

Initially, the repair cafe will offer electrical, woodwork, sewing, bike and general repair.  Events are drop in (there’s no need to book) usually on the third Saturday of the month at the Grassroots Cafe in John Wesley Street. There is no fixed charge – donations are very welcome to cover the costs of the project.
