2. Put Fixing Factories on high streets across the UK 🔧
Our @CamdFixFactory trains local people to repair household electrical items.. 🔌
By setting up Fixing Factories nationwide, we can cut e-waste, help with the cost of living, and change our high streets for the better.
Great article in yesterday's Observer featuring our project partners @RestartProject and many of our fixing friends - a terrific snapshot of the UK repair movement in 2024...poised and ready for an inevitable tipping point...
If I had a hammer… in today’s @ObsMagazine I speak to the exponents of a thriving new UK repair culture @RestartProject

Great work from associate APPG members @VeoliaUK - supporting the circular economy ♻️ in London this #RepairWeek
To celebrate #RepairWeek, we hosted a series of free repair events in partnership with @ThinkDoCamden and @CamdFixFactory. A total of 80 residents brought their faulty items to prevent them from being thrown away and our expert fixers managed to fix 29 of them. Well done team! 🛠️

We're featured alongside the great @theteamrepair in the first episode of the #MissionResponsible podcast, where @shinisomara reports how transformative a Restart Party is, and how we should completely change the way we manufacture, consume, reuse and dispose of electricals! 🧰
Join Drs. Shini Somara and Simon Clark on a mission for responsible engineering!
Repair instead of buying, explore the future of food and dive into the Internet of Skills.
Listen to Episode One of #MissionResponsible now.
