Hackney Fixers - Welcome!

Our next Restart Party will be on 26th January 2020 at The Redmond Centre in Manor House. For those interested in volunteering as a Restarter there will be a briefing beforehand - for info and registration click here.

There's a great interview with our own Dave Lukes on Dalstoniapod. And if you want some great tips on looking after your phone have a look at this short filmed by the BBC at one of our events recently.

We are looking for people to join our organising team: if you are interested in helping us with hosting events, planning, organising, funding or communications please get in touch at info@hackneyfixers.org.uk or come along and chat to us at an event.

What is Hackney Fixers?

We aim to promote electrical and electronic repair in Hackney as an alternative to growing mountains of waste and consumption. As a joint project of Sustainable Hackney and Hackney and Tower Hamlets Friends of the Earth we were inspired by The Restart Project to run our first Restart Party in 2013.

The Hackney Fixers organisers are James Diamond, Friederike Hanisch, Dave Lukes and Bridget Harvey.

What we do

Since 2013 we have run events including Restart Parties, "Rosie the Restarter" workshops for women, workshops for young people, school workshops, clothing repair workshops and an annual festival of fixing, The BIG Fix. We also ran a series of successful repair classes, Fixing Fridays. We are actively involved with The Restart Project and represent Hackney Fixers at FixFest, the annual festival of the repair movement.
