International Repair Day is an annual celebration for everyone who makes repair happen in their communities around the world.

Every October we celebrate the power of repair to bring our communities together, reduce our impact on the planet, learn new skills and so much more. Whether you’re a fixer, community organiser, tinkerer, maker, repair business, campaigner or simply a fan of repair, there are lots of ways to join in.

How can you get involved in Repair Day?

We want Repair Day to spread as far and wide as possible. So we’ve put together an engagement kit to help you celebrate and promote the day, including event ideas, posters and social media graphics in multiple languages. 

And if you already have an amazing event planned, why not add it to our map of global events? We’ve already shared a little overview of how some of our ORA members and network are planning to mark the occasion. 

Celebrating 15 years of repair cafes!

Also this October, one of our members – Repair Cafe International – is celebrating a huge milestone of 15 years since their first repair cafe! They will be coordinating a global effort to honour this achievement which you can read more about here.
