23 Jul '23

Do you have broken items at-home – clothes, small appliances, toys, electronics? No need to throw them away! Save your things from the landﬁll and your wallet from having to replace them. Bring them to our repair café and learn how to ﬁx them together with our volunteers. We have tools, materials, space to work on your item, and repair experts who will help you with your repair. A repair cafe is a community gathering place where people can bring their broken items, such as appliances, clothing, bicycles, or electronics, to be repaired by skilled volunteers for free. The idea behind repair cafes is to promote sustainability and reduce waste by encouraging people to repair and reuse their belongings instead of throwing them away. At a repair cafe, visitors can learn how to repair their items themselves or watch and learn from the volunteers. Repair cafes also offer a social atmosphere where people can connect with others who share their interest in repairing, reducing waste, and promoting sustainability. Our passionate team of skilled volunteers will be on hand to help you fix everything from electronics and appliances to furniture and clothing, all while sharing valuable repair skills and promoting a sustainable lifestyle. At our Repair Café , you can: Learn essential repair techniques from our expert makers and volunteers Discover the joy of fixing things and reducing waste in a collaborative, community-focused environment Connect with like-minded individuals who are passionate about sustainability and the maker movement So grab your broken treasures and join us for a day of mending, learning, and connection at Tog Hackerspace Repair Café. Together, we can build a more sustainable future and celebrate the power of repair! Tog members will be on hand to show you around the space – come and enjoy a tea or coﬀee and a tour while you wait! If we can’t fix your items, we will do our best to make suggestions on where to get spare parts or the best recycling options for you to continue your journey of repair. What objects can you bring in? Clothes and accessories Toys Small electrical appliances and electronics Small furniture … and many other things!

Greetings! I have volunteered to ferry an amount of lockpicking stuff from TOG up to the Belfast branch for them to use, but have called in to TOG enroute from where I live in Bray to somewhere else a couple of times but theres been nobody in. I'm wondering if there'd be somebody there anytime today or this evening, or tomorrow, Saturday, before noon, to enable me to collect? Regards, Jacob Whitecloud
