What is Fixy?

The ‘Fixy’ initiative promotes repair and reuse, with a focus on electricals. The Fixy team and van travels across Somerset, popping up at events to talk to you about getting your stuff fixed and loving it for longer. Whether you want general advice, or want to donate some unwanted smart tech, Fixy can help.

Fixing items, rather than replacing them is a great way to help protect the environment. Electrical items are full of valuable raw materials such as gold, copper, aluminium and steel.

By ensuring electrical items are repaired or reused we can help individuals, businesses and schools to reduce their environmental impact.

The Fixy initiative also helps to promote Somerset’s thriving network of volunteer-run community repair groups. As a county we are fortunate to have a large network of groups who can help you fix your things. Not just electrical – from sewing repairs to bicycles and toasters the groups could help.
