Dont bin it, fix it! with The Fix It Group 23

The Fix it Group 23 is a not-for-profit voluntary community interest organisation that is fully insured, set up to support people during difficult times and to reduce the number of items going to landfill and expensive to run recycling facilities until it is absolutely necessary.

The Fix it Group 23 manages Repair Cafés at two locations across the rural county of Leicestershire: one located in the Mountsorrel Memorial Centre Venue, a contemporary community and arts centre; and the other at Bradgate Arms in Cropston, a 400-year-old building that features old beams, a warm atmosphere and rich history.Repair Cafés help household items be used for longer rather than throwing them away. This reduces the volume of raw materials and energy needed to make new products. It cuts CO2 emissions by reusing instead of manufacturing new products. We also aim to promote a repairing culture by inviting each one of our visitors to sit with a volunteer repairer, our Repair Cafés show appreciation for the people who have practical knowledge and ensure these valuable skills are getting passed on. Repair Cafés promote social cohesion in the community by connecting local residents from all different backgrounds.
