Restart Party Host Profile: Meet Tim
Tim hosts Restart Parties in greater Camden. He’s a “seasoned eco-worrier” who likes seeing people happy when they learn and get stuff repaired. He works four days a week at Haringey Council, and volunteers as well as working on personal projects.
Let’s get the party started: Learn how to run a Restart Party
Join our special training event in East London on Saturday 23 July to help community groups get started running Restart Parties. The training will provide interested groups with all they need to start running events.
