Get ready to discover the joy of repair! Repair Week is returning to Greater Manchester, bringing a host of workshops, events and resources to help you revive your beloved belongings.
Learn valuable repair skills, save money, and contribute to a healthier planet – all while falling back in love with your stuff.
Whether you’re a seasoned fixer or a complete beginner, Repair Week has something for everyone, offering practical tips, tricks, and the confidence you need to tackle any repair project!
A week-long celebration of repair where repair groups and businesses host events to encourage people to try fixing instead of throwing away.
Repair Week was started by ReLondon in 2020 and R4GM became a partner in 2023.
Last year we chucked an estimated £417 million worth of repairable items in Greater Manchester.
Fixing instead of throwing away means we can love things for longer, save cash, and stop things ending up as rubbish.
We know 80% of us want to repair items but aren’t always sure where to start. Repair Week helps direct people to local repairers.
