Repair Cafe Foyle

Repair Café Foyle is part of a growing movement tackling the waste generation crisis.

Our friendly pop-up events are aimed to reconnect people with their stuff and creating space for dialogue about overconsumption and the right to repair.

Our team of volunteers are at hand to have a ‘wee go’ at fixing just about anything from bikes to lamps and toasters.

Diverting waste from landfill or incineration has never been more important as we re-evaluate our impact on the planet.

With our textile experts from the Fashion and Textile Centre and Bike team from Life Cycles, we are confident that we can find a solution. If we can’t fix it, we will signpost you to a specialist.

With the increased cost of living, communities can become more resilient by reconsidering our relationship with stuff!

We can’t wait to meet you all!

Minimal Human Contact by Naoise Ó Cairealláin 5

Minimal Human Contact is a bi-lingual production with a focus on a hugely disabling condition, in large part hidden from view, that has touched many lives in our communities and is largely perceived to be affecting the male population.

This one man show delves deep into the world of compulsive gambling to produce cathartic results. Gritty, intense and in Irish, this new play is written by Naoise Ó Cairealllán, award-winning rapper Moglaí Bap.

This insightful and painful story connects with those suffering from the condition, offering a glimpse into a very dark alternative world yet holding the space for a remarkable outcome.

An outcome that challenges the usual downward spiral in most addictive conditions and is largely influenced, in this instance, by the interventions of close family members and by a singular and tenacious counselling service who went over and above, in assisting their client to handle his addiction.

This is a story told in the Irish language of a new generation particular to West Belfast, a language that is vital, urban and authentic. This is a Belfast story both in content and in the manner and the language of its telling, yet has a subject matter that strikes a universal tone.
