Today we are announcing the full programme, featuring 31 speakers from all around the world across 4 panels, 2 keynotes and 3 Spotlight Sessions.

Repair vouchers are coming to (selected) London boroughs very soon thanks to @restartproject πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘.

Vouchers will offer discounts on repairs of broken electrical devices at #indie #repair shops. No doubt they’ll be as successful as they’ve been in other European countries!

We had a brilliant #RepairCafe for #InternationalRepairDay last Saturday. Our members and community fixers did repairs, saving all sorts from going to landfills.

@restartproject For me it's just pure common sense. I work at instustrial plants where equioment sellers provide all documentation and spareparts and they let end-users use their parts without any restrictions.

I don't understand why same doesn't apply to home appliances anymore. Vast majority won't hack or short circuit them anyway.

It's International Repair Day ♻️

This sweater has been with me for more than ten years, and I got it second hand from an old lady. Then it was plain white art, because it is hand knit.
Over the years, I patched wear and tear, but last year the fixes got a bit obvious, and I have enough other white stuff. Also, the stitches got pulled wider than is useful in aweater, making steeks obvious. So I fixed all this with embroidery wool.
Now in its 20th year, it is a favorite again.
