I believe The Environment Centre in Swansea have run a number of repair
parties in association with The Restart Project in the past, we have
had a few people find us through our contacts there. So it is probably
worth talking to them about their experience.

We too have a small lending library of tech items, although there has
been little interest in ours we dont know if that is through lack of
awareness or demand. I'm sure we can figure out some sort of reciprocal
deal there on any items of interest we have.

We always like to try and get involved in related activities around the
city, whilst finding the manpower can be a challenge we are certainly
open to discussing ideas to see what we can work out.
