London
West Central London Fixers bring together volunteer repairers and the community
to fix their electronics for free. The idea is to nurture repair culture in the
community, rather than throwing away electronics – indeed e-waste has become a
huge environmental problem. The events are open to volunteer learner repairers
so are educational as well. WCL Fixers currently organise monthly free repair
events at the Dalgarno Trust and the Space in North Kensington as well as at the
Livat shopping centre in Hammersmith. The idea however is to have three
branches: WCL Fixers – North Kensington WCL Fixers – Hammersmith WCL Fixers -
Westminster - from April 2023 We are supported by the Royal Borough of
Kensington and Chelsea and the London Borough of Hammersmith Fulham. We work in
partnership with the Restart Project. West Central London Fixers also engages in
the private repair and recycling of laptops. Please call or email us for further
details - wcl.fixers@gmail.com. We love fixing things at our free electronic
repair events. However, as we do not stock spare parts for all electronics, it
may be at times best to seek professional advice. Click on the link to locate
your local repair shop. Trainee sessions now available at our repair events - (2
hours). Scroll down to the events in black and white. Reuse things: Library of
Things, also present at Livat Hammersmith, helps you save money and reduce waste
by affordably renting out useful Things like drills, sound systems and sewing
machines from local spaces. You can also learn skills like DIY and repair.
