Fixing for a Future: Intergenerational skill sharing in East Lothian.

The aim of this project is to :

• To continue and develop East Linton Tool Library

• To run a Repair Café every 2 months at East Linton Community Hall and other community halls across East Lothian

• To deliver 72 workshops (12 blocks of 6 weeks) in electrical, textile, furniture, and bicycle repairs to younger people, some of whom are vulnerable, to develop their experience and confidence and help them into employment and training. (East Lothian Works will be referring young people to attend workshops across East Lothian). 

• To provide informal support from our Tool Library and Repair Café volunteers to those younger people
