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.

• The opportunity to introduce your organisation to new customers. Our 2024 campaign reached 165,727 people.
• Be part of the biggest Repair Week ever. Greater Manchester, London, Cardiff, Merseyside, Durham and Belfast local authorities have teamed up for this nation-wide celebration.
• Free advertising of your event on the R4GM website.
• Your organisation listed on the R4GM Repair Directory.
• We promote the campaign and event listings through adverts, our partners, and 9 councils in Greater Manchester.
• Valuable survey data to understand how locals view repair. We’re asking 500 residents their views.

Any community group, business or individual who wants to share their repair expertise with residents is welcome.

Host an in-person or online event during repair week to repair items or teach people to repair.
We’ll list you on our event directory and your event will be promoted under the nationwide banner of Repair Week.
List your organisation on our repair directory. The directory helps residents find local repairers like you all year round.
