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...
Got an idea to reduce food or electrical waste? 🤔
Two projects could be awarded £100k each through the second phase of this year’s North London Community Fund, with collaboration between not-for-profit organisations of all sizes being encouraged!
