Leicester Fixers

Leicester Fixers is a community of citizens that work together to mend the broken, reduce waste going into landfills, and campaign for the right to repair. We operate under the umbrella of Transition Leicester which aims to create more resilient and sustainable communities.

They do this by 

  • Sharing tips and suggestions on how to repair 
  • Promoting repair and upcycling businesses
  • Organising Restart Parties and Festival - e.g. Green Festival of Making and Mending
  • Delivering Outreach Programme to support citizens to start their own repair group - e.g. Leicestershire Community Repair Outreach Programme
  • Delivering presentations and talks to inspire others to start their own repair community
  • Contributing to research and discussion about the Right to Repair and the factors influencing prosumers to repair
  • Delivering training and workshops
  • Participating in National and International Days of Repair
