Restart Project and Leicester Fixers

Restart Project is a charitable incorporated organisation based in London with the main aim ''to tackle the climate emergency by making electronics work for people, for the planet, and for longer.''

I first engaged with the Restart Project in 2015. My collaborator and I were looking for some inspiration on how to run a repair event, so we could start Leicester Fixers. We went all the way to Hackney to attend an event and meet some of the people from the Restart Project.

Over the years supporting the idea of repair in Leicester and Leicestershire, Leicester Fixers came down to London at Westminster to support and participate in a Parlimentary Restart Party in 2016. More in the podcast episode here. We also attended FixFest 2017 in London, FixFest UK 2018 in Manchester and Fixfest 2019 in Berlin.

How much more can you do while racing through life, its responsibilities and distractions? A good tool to use for reflection is the theory of attachment to understand yourself and how your type of attachement impact on the quality of relationships. Have a look and let me know what you think?
