Join our free Repair & Share Hub at Springfield Project to repair clothing and small tech items, swap clothes on our Honesty Rail for FREE!

Repair & Share Hub at The Springfield Project

Join us for our monthly FREE Repair & Share Hub for local residents at the Place of Welcome, Springfield Project.

Bring along clothing, textiles or small tech items that need a little TLC, refresh your wardrobe on our Honesty Swap Rail, learn new skills and meet local people in a friendly, welcoming space.

By repairing, reusing and swapping instead of replacing, you can save money, reduce waste and help keep valuable resources out of landfill.

What to expect

🧵 Clothing and textile repairs

💻 Small tech repairs provided by Repair Wins

👕 Honesty Clothes Swap Rail – bring one, swap one!
