At the Fixing Factory, we’re all about giving gadgets — and our planet — a second chance. From our bright orange workshops, we’re tackling e-waste head-on with a mix of hands-on repair sessions, skill-building workshops, and a big dose of community spirit. Think of it as a space where saving the planet is fun, practical, and just a little bit electrifying.

In our first 2 years, we rescued and repurposed over 1600kg of electrical goods that were destined for landfill. But this is just the beginning. We dream of a future where every high street has a Fixing Factory, and together, we can make it happen.

Our mission: To bring people together through fixing, cut carbon emissions, and give broken stuff a second chance.

Why Fixing Matters

At Fixing Factory, every repair isn’t just about saving a device — it’s about:

• Reducing e-waste: By fixing instead of replacing, we keep waste out of landfill and cut carbon emissions.

• Empowering communities: Learning repair skills isn’t just handy — it builds confidence, resilience, and brings people together.

• Saving money: Making tech last for longer, and buying secondhand, helps people facing the cost of living crisis.

• Protecting the planet: Repairing and reusing tech helps create a cleaner, greener future for us all.
