A volunteer-run initiative to enable people to repair, not replace.

Following the success of ‘The Big Fix’ in 2019 – where 40 volunteers from across Devon repaired 268 items in one day - the circular initiative has gone nationwide, with over 1000 UK-wide volunteers repairing household items for a small donation. The Big Fix 2020 believed to repair over 2,000 items, from clothing to toys, saving 60 tonnes of CO2.

Here in Oxford, SHARE (Oxfords very own Library of Things) organises free Repair Cafés every first Sunday of every other month between 14:00 – 17:00 at Makespace Oxford. Like the Big Fix, the Repair Cafe is an opportunity to sharpen those tools, fix electrical equipment, repair clothing and restore jewellery. Visit their website or Facebook page to keep in the loop.
