At the Fixing Factory, we’re all about giving gadgets — and our planet — a second chance. From our bright orange workshops, we’re tackling electronic waste head-on with a mix of workshops, free repair sessions, and a big dose of community spirit. Think of it as a space where saving the planet is fun, practical, and just a little bit electrifying.

We launched back in 2022, and now we fix over 600 items a year, saving over 1300kg of electrical waste from landfill. 

But this is just the beginning. We dream of a future where every high street has a Fixing Factory, and together, we can make it happen.

Why Fixing Matters

At Fixing Factory, every repair isn’t just about saving a device — it’s about:

• Saving people money: Fixing stuff means people don’t need to spend money on unnecessary replacements. Fixing Factories saved local people over £2,500 in a single month. 

• Building skills: We help people learn new things, and access jobs in repair and reuse.

• Regenerating high streets: Fixing Factories bring people together in person to connect with their community, helping to get our high streets back on their feet.

• Reducing waste: By fixing instead of replacing, we keep waste out of landfill and cut carbon emissions. 

• Protecting nature: Repairing and reusing tech helps create a cleaner, better future for our children and grandchildren.
