We’re a global community of people who are passionate about fixing broken stuff. Together we run repair events around the world where volunteers help people give their possessions a new lease of life. In the process, we spread repair skills and reduce the amount of waste and CO2 we produce.
Everyone is welcome! Whether you’re interested in repair, community events or any of the other topics we talk about, just jump right in!
