Sharing know-how is at the heart of the programme, empowering people to make environmentally sustainable choices whilst reducing waste. The Repair Cafes embrace the Restart Party model with repair specialists de-mystifying the steps to diagnosing and fixing portable household items with residents. Artillery has introduced an additional hands-on skills workshop to each Repair Cafe thanks to the variety and experience of facilitators in our East London network. 

The spirit in which ELWA has established the East London Repair Cafes chimes closely with Artillery’s values. Each features local experts, sustainability advocates and social enterprises. The characteristic warm welcome encourages residents to connect across shared intentions and common queries. By commissioning Artillery to deliver on all aspects of producing the Repair Cafes, ELWA’s inhouse team are able to focus energy on other ambitious elements of their Waste Prevention Programme.
