Curious about repair? Learn to fix electrical items with experts, and put your skills to use at community repair events.
About this Event

Do you have some basic fixing skills or an interest in repair that you’d like to develop?

Join this How To Fix Electricals workshop, where we will learn how to repair the most common items brought into community repair events, together. Work in teams to take a look at a broad range it items, including toaters, lamps (and more), with the support of an experienced repairer.

All skill levels are welcome- including complete beginners and those with some fixing skills/experience already! These workshops are designed for those who would like to start volunteering their skills at repair events but don't know where to start.

Community repair events are pop-up events that prevent e-waste by helping people fix their own electronics. Wanstead Repair Cafe runs regular events in the borough, which rely on volunteers to make the magic happen. The Restart Project and East London Waste Authority (ELWA) have teamed up with Wastead Repair Cafe to deliver this session and meet more people interested in repairing and potentially volunteering at events locally.

Please note:

These sessions are not repair cafes, where you can bring your items for repair
These sessions are completely free, all we ask is that you attend a Repair Cafe event as a volunteer to help hone your skills and build confidence and experience in fixing items, under the guidance of our expert repairers
Under 18's must be accompanied by a parent or guardian
If this event sells out, we will be prioritising giving tickets to people who live within the borough. If you live outside the borough, we may get in touch with you to cancel your ticket.
