Most of us don’t like throwing our stuff away, we’d love to replace things less often - it just feels so… wasteful. The amount of waste we produce is overwhelming, and electronics are the fastest growing waste stream: Each year across the world, the e-waste we produce weighs more than the Great Wall of China. But we’re out of the habit of repairing. It’s all too easy to buy new when something breaks, and too expensive or hard to get things repaired. We need a big shift to make repair the norm.

We will build on 10 years of experience supporting community repair and highlighting repair options. This means: - Supporting and building a network of groups across the UK that run regular Restart Parties, where people teach each other how to repair their broken and slow devices. - Building support for our Fixing Factories: fixed repair spaces that bring life back to our high streets - Promoting our Repair Directory (LondonRepairs.org), with over 300 reliable repair businesses and counting.
