Clothing repair
Presented by TRAID, participants will learn how to mend their clothes.
Please bring along one or two items of clothing that are in need of repair and we will teach you how to mend them. We will have examples of clothes that have been repaired, as well as materials to practice on.
Our workshops are suitable for those with no previous skills and we provide the materials needed.
Laptop repair
Laptop repairs will be carried out by Harrow Sustain IT, a project run by Voluntary Action Harrow. They work hand-in-hand with the local community to give laptops a second life.
Note: please select the 'Laptop Repair Ticket' option when booking your ticket.
Small electrical repairs
The Restart Project helps people learn how to repair their broken electronics, and rethink how they consume them in the first place. Bring your broken items and sit alongside skilled fixers who will help you repair them for free.
Please read the booking page fully before booking a ticket to find out what you can bring.
