How To Fix Electricals Workshop (Thamesmead)

Join this two hour How To Fix Electricals workshop, where you'll work in teams to repair the most common items brought into commmunity repair events (toasters, kettles, lamps and more), with the support and guidance of an experienced fixer.

Why are we running these workshops?

They're designed for people who'd like to start volunteering their skills at repair events but don't know where to start.

We're collaborating with the London Borough of Bexley to build a new volunteer-led repair group, which will organise regular repair cafes in Thamesmead, so residents can continue to fix their borken items for free, with the support of volunteer fixers.

After attending the workshop, you will have the opportunity to build your fixing experience, skills and confidence by shadowing and learning from experienced fixers at repair cafes. This session is completely free- all we ask is that you shadow a fixer at one repair cafe over the next 4 months.

All skill levels are welcome- including complete beginners and those with some fixing skills/experience already!

Please note:

• These sessions are not repair cafes, where you can bring your items for repair
• They are for people aged16+ . 16-18 year olds may attend if accompanied by an adult.
• They are in high demand and are paid for by The London Borough of Bexley. We kindly ask that you commit fully to this complimentary training session. If you have booked a ticket, you will be contacted via email to confirm your place. If we don’t hear back from you within the time frame set, we may have to cancel your ticket to ensure others can attend.
• If this event sells out, we will be prioritising giving tickets to people who live within the borough. If you live outside the The London Borough of Bexley, we may get in touch with you to cancel your ticket.
• By booking a ticket, you consent to your answers being shared with The Restart Project and The London Borough of Bexley, for reporting purposes. Your personal information will not be included in any reporting, however The Restart Project and The London Borough of Bexley may use your name and email address to contact you for follow-up (e.g., to share updates or request further feedback)
