We support the Manchester Declaration https://manchesterdeclaration.org/

We ask UK legislators and decision-makers at all levels, as well as product manufacturers and designers, to stand with us for our Right to Repair, by making repair more accessible and affordable, and ensuring that we adopt product standards making products better supported, well documented and easier to repair by design.

Restart parties are cancelled for the time being.  However there are a number of online resources available, including a virtual repair event on 19th April:

Restart is looking to expand the London Repair Directory which includes businesses with at least 10 online reviews (minimum average score of 4 out of 5 stars), provide a physical address and give warranties on their repairs.  To suggest a business click here https://therestartproject.org/suggest-a-business-for-the-repair-dir...

Repair should be more accessible and affordable; product  standards should be adopted making products better supported, well documented and easier to repair by design.
