Our latest exciting announcements, opportunities and tips After months of fundraising, recruiting and planning, we’re delighted to be launching our first Fixing Factory in Brent on 23rd April. Announcing a new project, made possible thanks to National Lottery funding, in partnership with climate charity Possible, Ready Tech Go, West London Waste Authority, and Mer IT. Together in London, we’re designing and testing two visions of permanent places for community-powered repair: ‘Fixing Factories’. As 2021 draws to a close, it’s time to celebrate what we’ve accomplished together: in our campaigning work, learning from our data and helping communities fix up computers for those in need. We also remember those we’ve missed and share hopes for 2022. We used our data about broken electronics to learn why they break, focusing on printers, tablets and batteries. Now we’re using these lessons to push for pro-repair regulation. It’s hard to characterise this year’s reading list – there is probably more “nature” in this list than in previous years. But not the kind you might be expecting. We’ve also got a fair bit of naughtiness, disruption and, as you might expect, discussion of where people and planet intersect with tech. After we supported London’s laptop donation schemes in the last six months, we look back at what we achieved. We are looking at ways to deepen and continue these vital partnerships with grassroots reuse groups as we plan into the future. Our devices come with a hidden environmental impact. We reveal what we learned about different products and how, by repairing our gadgets when they break, we can reduce their overall impact.
