We’ve hit a huge milestone. Repair Cafes in Northern Ireland have saved 100 tonnes of climate emissions up to July 2026. Not too shabby for a network of local people, popping up once a month or two in a hall near you, with their screwdrivers, sewing machines and shortbread.

We hear at every event how repairing items makes a huge difference to the people who own them - restoring cherished things, keeping their households functioning and reducing what they need to buy.

And we know it makes a massive difference to communities - holding space where everyone is welcome, for people to meet, to share skills and build connections.

When you get something fixed, you are also doing something amazing for the planet. All the materials, energy and transport impacts of manufacturing a replacement thing don’t need to happen. We know the way we are living and consuming is way beyond what nature and the climate can sustain. Repair cuts waste, consumption and climate emissions - it’s a practical, local, affordable action we can all take today to move towards a more sustainable, resilient society.

We’d LOVE you to be a part of it - because it all adds up. Volunteer with your local repair cafe - we need help with admin, baking and publicity as well as fixing. Get a few people together and set up a repair cafe in your community if there isn’t one nearby - we will help you every step of the way. And keep coming to repair cafes with your broken things - we always do our best to help and advise. Together, we are doing something amazing to make a difference. Thank you.

We are grateful to The National Lottery Community Fund Northern Ireland for funding our network and work to help new communities start repairing.
