We’re a small West London charity, and we started fixing things out of frustration.Through our device reuse project with West London Waste Authority, we kept seeing perfectly good laptops, kettles, lamps and toasters arriving at waste sites. Most of them needed a simple repair, not a skip. That was the turning point. We started rescuing devices, fixing them, and getting them back to people who need them. The money from resale goes straight back into helping local people into jobs, education and training.We love teaching because we see what it does for people. Someone walks in nervous about opening up a plug, and by the end of the day they’ve found a fault and fixed it themselves. That confidence sticks. Some of our learners have gone on to use these skills to get into work.Something most people don’t know: a large share of “broken” electricals have a simple fault, like a blown fuse, a loose connection or a worn cable. Once you know what to look for, you’ll never bin something without checking first.A bit about us:We run accredited Electrical Fixers Level 1 and Level 2 courses.Many learners have completed Level 2, and many more have done Level 1 and our community repair workshops.We run repair workshops across West London boroughs.Every class you book helps us rescue more devices and support more people. Come and learn a skill for life, and save a few things from the bin along the way.
