We’re looking for partners who can keep us fixing for longer!! 🔧

Contact us if you can help: https://www.fixingfactory.org/partnerships

Almost all of the money needed to run our Fixing Factories comes from a grant from The National Lottery Community Action Fund so we’re looking for strategic partners who can help us continue the work of the Fixing Factories beyond May 2027.

Back in 2022, we opened the doors to our very first Fixing Factory. We were excited — and a little nervous — to put our vision for community repair into practice: a vision of breathing life back into derelict high streets, bringing people together through shared skills, helping communities navigate the rising cost of living through practical support, and, above all, resisting a culture that tells us to throw things away when they could be repaired.

We can’t stop now.

We’re casting the net wide and trying to reach as many people as possible to have the best chance of people who can help us bring Fixing Factories to the next level.

Can you share this post with your network or an individual to help us reach as many people as possible?

If you are reading this and think you can support please contact us: https://www.fixingfactory.org/partnerships
