Earlier this Year we hosted a Repair Fest in Crieff, thanks to our team of volunteers and all who helped out and attended π₯°π
Always great fun to share the love for repair and reuse with our community π₯³
On day 5 of Climate Week we are sharing one of the many fantastic projects of Remake Scotland
Their recent Repair Fest brought the community together to learn new skills, repair treasured belongings and rethink our relationship with waste. Hosted at Strathearn Community Campus, the event demonstrated the power of repair, reuse and community action.
π Project Impact
55 people attended the event.
31 items were brought in for repair.
27 items were successfully repaired, giving them a new lease of life and preventing unnecessary waste.
15 community volunteers contributed their time and expertise.
3 community partners helped make the event a success.
From textile repairs and Dr Bike sessions to tool sharpening, e-waste advice and creative junk modelling, attendees embraced the opportunity to learn, share skills and take practical climate action.
One attendee shared that the event helped them better understand the impact of the textile industry and inspired them to think differently about throw-away culture, while also leaving with a repaired sewing machine and new repair skills.
