BOGNOR REGIS REPAIR CAFE – Due to unforeseen circumstances, The Bognor Regis Repair Café has been temporarily postponed until further notice and will no longer begin on Saturday, February 15th, as originally advertised. Please stay tuned for further updates as the new opening date will be published as soon as possible. Watch this space!
When we start up shortly, it will be an opportunity to bring along your broken electrics, sewing, clocks, jewellery etc, where our skilled volunteers will help to fix them. The volunteers will not charge for their time, but a cash donation will be expected. While you’re here, why not enjoy a chat, a cuppa and a slice of cake. For enquiries, please email: [email protected] or call 01243 345239.
WHAT IS THE MAKERSPACE? The Bognor Makerspace is an inclusive community resource where people gather to co-create, share resources and knowledge, work on projects, network and build. With the aim of people increasing their self-confidence, learning to persevere to improve skills, being part of a supportive team environment, combating loneliness and exclusion, improving wellbeing and mental health through creative expression, making new friends and sharing in setting and successfully completing projects.
OUR VALUES:
· Collaborating – supporting each other, sharing skills, knowledge & space
· Respecting and encouraging each other
· Hosting events and activities
· Being curious and adventurous
· Being entrepreneurial
OUR PRIMARY FOCUS is to support people who might have missed out on the chance to develop creative skills and this inclusive makerspace is designed to be enjoyed by anyone.
Parts of the building are available for groups to use for arts & craft, wellbeing, carpentry, construction and even cooking! We have wheelchair-accessible toilets, a carpentry room, a large training kitchen, a Wellbeing Room, an upstairs Fabric Classroom and a platform lift up to the mezzanine floor.
SPACE CAN BE HIRED OUT as an one-off or regular basis. If you would like to enquire about hiring space and would like a tour of the building, please contact Joanna Kelly, Makerspace Manager on 01243 345239 or alternatively, email: [email protected]
