Fixing is our War on Waste

We were on the popular TV series Hugh’s War on Waste last night on BBC One! A couple of months back, we made a special trip to Stroud to run a Restart Party together with Transition Stroud’s Repair Café and D14, a design student group.

If you missed it, in the UK you can watch it on iPlayer until the end of August here – our clip starts around 26:20. (International viewers can watch it here, for now!)

If you would like to volunteer here in London or beyond, we have a page for you.

If you would like to host your own Restart Party, we have a kit to help your community group get started.

Repair is essential! Here is how we celebrated International Repair Day

“Repair is Essential” – this is the theme we chose for this year’s International Repair Day. In London, an online team of volunteers mapped 45+ repair businesses in London to be considered for inclusion. Small groups met repair businesses in Crystal Palace, Shepherd’s Bush and Tooting.

Producing great online repair events – learning from around the world

The pandemic presents huge challenges to communities around the world, including community repair groups. Fortunately, we see the world through the lens of repair and are practised problem-solvers. We’ve been inspired to see how groups around the world have adapted online.
