Repair Cafes in the news
We get all sorts of lovely visitors at repair cafes. Recently that's included TV and radio journalists interested in telling the story of repair cafes - and there is never any shortage of interesting repair stories to tell!
Repair Cafe Carryduff recently welcomed Nathan and Jim from UTV who wanted to meet some of the volunteers and visitors. There was no shortage of fantastic fixes and interesting tales behind them, from a precious Christmas ornament, a beloved doll in need of some TLC, a well-travelled plate, and the usual mix of clocks, tools, printers, lamps and clothes.
Repair Cafe Antrim and Newtownabbey hosted Eve from BBC Northern Ireland, who gave Radio Ulster listeners a flavour of what goes on at a repair cafe.
Then Repair Cafe Moira had a chance to share the benefits of getting stuff fixed with Nicola from Radio Ulster’s Consumer Fightback programme. The team shared how repair cafes are helping people save money, waste less and connect with their community – as well as fixing everything from the fairy on the top of the Christmas tree to a much loved rocking horse!
It’s great to spread the word about repair cafes and share a glimpse into our friendly community events.
