These chats about repair (our stuff, ourselves and our communities) range from mending textiles to the repair of broken bones, from up-cycling in the pandemic to community conflict in Bangladesh, from home made Punk Clothes to celebrating scars.

Series 4, Episode 6: Lee Robb
Lee is the founder of Positive Carrickfergus and co-founder of Repair Cafe Belfast and Carrick Greengrocers. She has lived in Carrickfergus for most of her life apart from a few years in England and Italy like so many of her generation brought up in Northern Ireland. Lee has worked in the voluntary and community sector for around 25 years mostly in grant making and decided about 6 years ago to try to work out how to make more of a useful contribution to her town and NI. She is terrible at switching off but finds that knitting socks helps.
