Repair Week. 11th - 17th March 2024. Person fixing a bike wheel.


Are you ready to join the repair revolution?

Repair Week is an annual celebration of all things repair with events and workshops to give you the skills to fix your stuff. Fixing instead of throwing away means we can love things for longer, save money, and stop things ending up as waste.

Fall back in love with your stuff this Repair Week by trying to fix it or finding a repair hero who can help.



Get involved

There’s lots of amazing events to take part in this Repair Week. With a mix of in person and online events, all hosted by local repair heroes.

Get inspired to try mending things yourself and find local repair heroes to help with tricky fixes.

Repair Week GM is the perfect time to share your expertise with your local community and shout about the great work you’re doing. We’re asking residents of GM to join the repair revolution and we need your help!

Are you planning a workshop or session that we can shout about? Do you have a regular repair event that we could promote? Could you host an online webinar to share your knowledge?
