At our next event on the 17th August not only can we help repair our normal types of items, but we also have the Somerset Council funded Fixy van coming, and will operate from 10am to 1pm.

Fixy operates as a mobile tech amnesty point for smart tech donations such as mobile phones and laptops. All donations are given to Donate IT, a local Community Interest Company which refurbishes the tech and distributes it to people, schools and groups who need them, helping to address digital poverty.
