SHARE are restarting their popular Repair events at the Welshmill Hub, and would welcome anyone who can help with diagnosing and fixing computer problems. The problems people bring along vary, but common ones are requests for help with installing or using software, advice on available software, or just “my laptop’s going really slowly”.
Just a reminder that SHARE’s next Repair Cafe is on Sunday Feb 23rd, 3pm-5pm in the Welsh Mill Hub. As ever, Aliss would welcome any help with tech repairs. If you’re up for it please let her know on the new Repair Cafe email address, fromerepaircafe@gmail.com
Ed and I will be driving back from Yorkshire that day, so we may or may not be back in time.
Also, advance notice that the following Repair Cafe is on Sunday 15th March, 3pm-5pm at the Welsh Mill Hub. And we’re hoping to make it a joint event and hold our first Air Sensor Workshop at the same time, probably in the Remakery or Cave. So put the date in your diary!
*I wondered if someone could fill in a “Right to Repair” survey please…
Dear Right to Repair supporter,
We need your help! We’re working on a major study on the European repair and refurbishment market. The objectives of the study are to:
Provide a credible baseline and reference estimate on the jobs and economic activity within the sector
Promote a discussion on the economic potential of refurbishment and repair
This study is a great opportunity to gather missing data to convince policymakers that repair is an important sector, and that its barriers must be removed. Please help us by asking your local repair shop/refurbishment businesses and any professional or NGO organisation working on repair to fill out our survey. The survey is available in 10 languages.
