RepairCafé

Repair Café Bray is a neighbourhood initiative, hosted by Common Ground, that promotes repair as an alternative to throwing things away.

The first Repair Café was held at the July market at Common Ground’s Beverley Studios premises on Church Terrace, and they are getting ready to hold the second one on October 28 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Residents of Bray can bring their broken items to fix them on the spot with the help of voluntary repairers.

Where possible, Repair Café experts will try to help you fix the item yourself, so that you come away not just with your possession fixed, but also having learned how to do the repair yourself. However, the repair expert will help as much or as little as your need, so they will be able to do complicated repairs for you.

All repairs are donation based: bring your broken things along, and we’ll try our best to help you get them fixed; in return we ask for a donation to Common Ground – the donation amount is up to you.

Also, they are are always looking for people with repair skills to help out, and also people to help with publicity and the running of the café on the day. If you are interested, please contact us at repaircafebray@outlook.ie.
