Artillery are delighted to be coordinating the Waltham Forest Festival of Reuse and Repair in 2025. Our projects mobilise skills, talents and ideas in neighbourhoods bringing people together across generations and cultures as creative changemakers.
Waltham Forest’s Festival of Reuse and Repair is produced by Artillery in partnership with the borough’s sustainability champions including Forest Recycling Project, Forest Fixers, Walthamstow and Leytonstone Toy Libraries with support from Waltham Forest Council’s Climate Emergency Team. Together we create accessible events that share hands-on skills, introduce residents to the many local repair and reuse specialists, and inspire people to extend the life of their household items instead of consigning them to landfill.
We are excited to announce the first dates for 2025 Reuse and Repair Fairs during Repair Week. Expect electrical repairs, circular fashion, reuse and repair for the outdoors, for the home and more.
In 2024 we delivered 4 Reuse and Repair Fairs and 3 Pop Up Repair Events in partnership with 59 community initiatives and local businesses welcoming 1400 participants who collectively diverted over 3 tonnes from landfill thanks to 4 Give and Takes, 40 skill sharing workshops and many, local specialist repairers.
