Happy for you to give them my name - I co-founded St Albans District Fixers. However, we call ours Repair Fairs, held mainly in church halls and the like, but similar objectives. I’ve done stuff with the media 2 or 3 times in the past.

Hi Philip, If you follow the link in my original post you can submit some info to them. I’m not in direct contact with them, just was made aware of this and wanted to spread the word to encourage more folk to get in touch so they get a flavour of the amazing work going on across the country and hopefully cover it lots.
