The Restart Project is a charity and social enterprise that encourages and empowers people to use their electronics longer in order to reduce waste. We help people learn to repair their own electronics in community events, and speak publicly about repair and resilience.

Story

In 2015 we went from strength to strength. We

  • supported Restart Party hosts in new countries (Spain and Switzerland!)
  • started to work with educators on both sides of the Atlantic
  • launched our "Restart Code"
  • built a system to calculate our positive impact
  • created a radio show and podcast, and we made some videos!

Just we fell behind in our online fundraising. Last year, you generously gave £3,000. As we write this in December, we are at £210.

Your donations help keep our community events free for all, allowing them to reach people seeking employment and those on low incomes, as well as young people. And your donations help us help others to host their own free events, multiplying our reach.

The money you gave last year was an investment in a small organisation, and with it, we sold more paid events, and raised money from institutions to expand our outreach.

Our extra-ambitious goal is the amount Facebook paid in taxes in the UK.

Together, we can do it, without Zuck's tax-free billions!
