Scavenger Labs start a new space for making, repairing and inventing. We have been awarded Town Council grant funding to establish a community workshop located in Todmorden Community College.

Following the success of the pre-covid monthly Repair Café , Mick Chesterman of Scavenger Labs decided more could be done to create a long-term space for people to make, create and repair, as well as provide a home for like-minded community focused projects.

Edit: While this project report from the Scavenger Labs website happened before the launch of JAMM Labs it is included as an example of the kind of project based work we undertake.

Making the Family Fixit Campaign with Ferney Lee School. A group of campaigners, artists and educators came together with the schoolchildren and staff at the school to create an environmental campaign to reduce waste.

This report describes what we did and what was valuable about the processes we used. It is aimed at other educators who may want to take inspiration from our activities and perhaps reuse them in their own way. The report covers the three main phases of the project

• Phase One - Fun and active workshops with recycled waste
• Phase Two- Social Action workshops to create a campaign
• Phase Three - Communicating the Campaign

Restart campaigns for the Right to Repair
