Let's build a repair café workshop together in Birmingham
A community-led a repair café workshop at the old Harmony bus depot that will serve 112 neighbors.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom2,983 views
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a repair café workshop. This year a group of 10 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Harmony bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $3,150.
It will serve about 112 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in May and everyone is invited.
We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos.
Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered.
Where the $3,150 goes:
• Materials: $2,300
• Permits and inspections: $130
• Safety equipment and signage: $280
• Tools hire and delivery: $440
With deep gratitude,
Doris

Sending love, Doris. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
Keep going. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't give up.
sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. I hope May is when things finally get easier.
