We have reached a point when most donations are a financial liability to us. 
Becoming financially sustainable comes at an environmental cost:
 

• The cost of labelling perfectly working devices as obsolete, because they would not run Windows 10 comfortably.

• The cost of labelling perfectly repairable devices as un-repairable because either their parts are too difficult or expensive to obtain or their design is too time consuming to disassemble.

​

We are on a journey.

A journey to discover solutions, to help others understand the challenges of implementing a culture of repair in our current society. 

​

The market might have a need for repairers, but it does not have the money to employ them, because buying new, can often be cheaper than repairing. 

​

​

Our approach to repair is vocational.

We believe a culture of repair changes people's lives: Once you make a working device out of two non-working devices, the question of sharing, property and usage, reshapes not only our relationship with things, but with people. 

​

• We wont turn our backs on devices that just need care and will continue to be truthful to our aims to refurbish and repair everything that has potential. 

• We will continue to be curious and open minded about what "having potential" means and when matching beneficiaries to those devices.  

• Providing training for the community, is our bit to changing society's relationship with electronics. 

• Providing training to become an IT technician is our bit to changing people's lives, as learning a trade opens the door to opportunities. 

• Most importantly, we will continue to share the view that there is no such a thing as a lack of devices, making sure that our services are free to those that need them most. 

​

It would be impossible to do all of this and so much more without our funders and supporters.

​

So, next time you think of us, think of them too.
