I was invited to the launch of Repair Space Blackburn today, hosted at the Reel Cinema in Blackburn. The Repair Space is a new project being undertaken by The Making Rooms, a community makers space in Blackburn, led by Tom MacPherson-Pope.
A community workshop dedicated to fixing and repairing items, promoting sustainability, and reducing waste. Our mission is to empower people with the skills and resources needed to repair their belongings, rather than discarding them.
I've worked with The Making Rooms lots over the past year and a half, and they are an amazing bunch, doing so much for their local community. If you are interested in repair, crafting or making, I'd highly recommend giving them a visit.
