What is Repair Week?

A week-long celebration of repair where we promote repair groups and businesses 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.
Repair Week is about connecting residents to local repairers just like you, to help us keep items in use as long as possible and stop them going to waste.
We’re asking repairers to host events offering repairs or teaching people how to repair, which we’ll promote on our website, with our partners, and through paid advertising.
