We are launching a new initiative - Share & Repair - bringing
together repairers, fixers and makers in the local community, celebrating and
sharing their skills and successes and supporting fixing, mending and making in
Tooting and beyond.
We plan to:
- Celebrate local fixing and mending however and wherever it is happening!
- Promote local repair, fixing and mending businesses.
- Support online and pop-up skill sharing and repairing events – building on our regular Restart/Sewstart sessions.
- Build a local network of makers, fixers and menders and the groups that support them with a long-term ambition to find a permanent a self-sufficient community space for Tooting’s Share & Repair community!
We would love to hear from anyone, individual
or organization, who would like to get involved.
Help us by
- Sharing details with us of any local businesses that do repair, fixing, mending or alterations – this could include working with electrical or electronic goods, furniture, clothes, leather goods, upholstery – and more…
- Letting us know if you have fixing or mending skills which you’d be happy to share with the community through this group – or you know someone who does….
- Telling us if you have something to offer the Share & Repair community – space, materials, tools or other skills like project planning, communications, social media, photography – anything which might help us build our work.
Contacting us if you’d like to get involved!
