Last month, over 100 fixers, organisers, researchers, and more from around the UK came together for #Fixfest UK 2023! 🎉
In this episode, we wanted to share a taste of the conversations going on on the day. We spoke to 8 Fixfest attendees about how they’ve been uplifting #repair in their communities, what they hope for the future, how we can get repair on the government’s agenda, and what our #RepairDay theme #RepairForEveryone means to them 🔧
Fiona talked to Catherine Weetman on The Circular Economy Podcast about reviving #repair and #reuse for our tech 🔧 Listen to hear about what we've been up to including campaigning for #RightToRepair, #RestartParties, #FixingFactories and #Fixfest.

Fiona Dear is a Co-Director at The Restart Project, which aims to keep our electronics in use for longer through repair and reuse. The Restart Project champions community repair, supporting regular Restart Parties where people teach each other how to repair their broken and slow devices, and using the data and stories they collect to help demand better, more sustainable electronics for all
At #Fixfest UK, community repair groups will explore their vision for the future of repair, and how we can work together to make it happen.
