Bring & Fix is for local people come together to share their skills and knowledge – to help each other and have fun while doing so. It is an event where individuals ‘fix’ small things for each other, seek and provide advice, and come up with solutions. Its aim is to build sustainable communities through recognisable events that can be repeated in one’s locality or community on a regular basis. We want to encourage anyone to get involved and bring what they know and can do for others, to repair and recycle instead of throwing away.

Or heavier weight woven items like jackets or jeans (thinner items like t-shirts or shirts can be much tricker as the fabrics are finer, other mending techniques might be more suitable).

Why? Because the most sustainable decision is to look after and keep what you have. And how? Easy peasy! Here's a short film about one of the wash-in, after-care items for garments that is readily available, which all work in broadly similar and easy ways. Not only do these work on reproofing already waterproof garments but they also give some water resistance to “ordinary” outer and mid-layer items.

What? Come and join the wonderful folks at Storm Care for a session on ‘at home’ outwear care where they will be supplying a limited amount of wash-in products for Rangers. They will be hosting drop-in sessions on both the 8th and 9th of March as well as holding a talk to about outwear care on each day. They will also have a footwear clean and proof clinic on site for the weekend - keeping your feet dry and warm is equally an important consideration and tired footwear can be brought back to life just like clothing. They will actively be helping you to do that at the event with everyone invited to come and get involved.

This is a community event where local people get together to fix broken things, often learning new skills and sharing existing ones. Repair Cafés aim to help people learn to fix and\or help others to fix, to bring about a shift in consumerism and to throw less away. We try to match people who want to fix something broken with those keen to help.

This workshop will focus specifically on darning, which is a method used to mend holes in garments or textile pieces by interweaving yarns to close up holes and reinforce the surrounding area.
