Hackney Fixing Factory: Volunteers wanted for Community Repair!

How to repair in your community
1

Hi all,

Our Hackney Fixing Factory is now open!

We will be running weekly community repair sessions every Saturday from 11:00 - 14:00 and we would love to hear from any experience fixers that might want to come along and support.

In particular we are looking for some volunteer fixers for this Saturday, but also for future sessions as well.

Let me know if you want to get involved!

Hello,

Thought I would help out, so I visited you today to find you were closed.

I also found outside a very miffed lady who was there as it was being renovated, but told to come back another time after completion. She came back a day or weeks later, and it was closed again. Was told co come today by a man (James? with a dog??), as it will be open this Saturday, to find it closed

Her Bush CD radio has a drifting tuner. It loses her station, then it drifts back to it.

Hi Karl!

Thanks for flagging this. I have been on leave and we weren’t able to find any cover so we unfortunately had to cancel the session. We keep the session times updated on our website but apologies as we didn’t update the display board in the window.

I believe we have been in touch with the owner of the radio and she is hoping to come again this Saturday! It would be great if you wanted to join?

Best wishes,
Arthur

Hi,

It was the posting you made last week that got me to go, not your website.

I can’t make it for the next three weeks as I have other commitments the first and fourth Saturdays of the month, but I’m sure I’ll be back

Apologies again! Please do come back when you are free, we would love to get you involved.

Any questions in the meantime just let me know.
