How does it work?

Can I take part?

At Renew Enterprises, we wholeheartedly embrace the idea that everyone has a unique narrative to share and invaluable skills to cultivate.

Our workshops are a vibrant tapestry where community spirit and personal development intertwine beautifully. As you step into our warm and inviting space, you’ll find a sanctuary alive with laughter, learning, and the rhythmic sounds of tools as we breathe new life into neglected bicycles.

Each gathering is a wonderful opportunity to forge meaningful connections, share knowledge, and celebrate the joy of collaboration, whether you’re a seasoned expert or a curious newcomer. Join us in transforming old bikes into inspiring symbols of resilience and sustainability, and together, let’s ride towards a future overflowing with potential and connection.

Many of the bicycles we restore contribute to the Project’s Earn-a-Bike programmes. If you’re working on your own bike, please be aware that there may be a charge for new and used parts.

Fix-a-bike is a weekly workshop bringing adults together in a fun and relaxed environment. We fix bikes, we drink tea, we chat and have fun. We offer a healthy dose of Social interaction by providing the space for people to come together in a relaxed, friendly, nonjudgmental environment. No previous experience of working on bikes is necessary!

This workshop is free of charge and no booking is required. If you, or someone you know, would like to come along or find out more then please pop in or drop us a line at info@renewenterprises.ie
