Revolutionizing High Streets with Fixing Factories

Possible, in partnership with TNL Community Fund and The Restart Project, is set to bring the Fixing Factory initiative to three new high streets over the next three years. This groundbreaking project aims to empower communities by teaching people valuable repair skills, reducing waste, and ultimately, helping to protect the environment.

The Fixing Factory concept is simple yet powerful: provide a space where individuals can learn how to fix common household items instead of discarding them. By extending the reach of this initiative to more high streets, Possible is making a significant impact on sustainability efforts across the country.

Imagine a world where instead of throwing away a broken toaster or a malfunctioning laptop, people have the knowledge and resources to repair these items themselves. Not only does this save money in the long run, but it also reduces the amount of waste ending up in landfills.

The collaborative efforts of Possible, TNL Community Fund, and The Restart Project are paving the way for a more sustainable future. By bringing Fixing Factories to new communities, they are inspiring individuals to take action against the throwaway culture that has become all too common.

If you’re passionate about sustainability and want to see a Fixing Factory on your street, now is the time to get involved. Stay tuned for updates on how you can support this initiative and be a part of the movement towards a more environmentally conscious society. Together, we can make a difference one repair at a time.
