Make it and Mend it is all about making small changes to our lives that have a ripple effect and influence the world we live in. It doesn’t happen overnight but adopting the Make it and Mend it philosophy makes a difference to your finances, your ‘green credentials’ and the way you feel.
And we want to give the vibrant and growing army of make it and menders somewhere to swap ideas and share inspiration. All with a touch of style.
- We’ll help you have fun developing a new skill or polishing up an old one.
- We’ll help you find new things to do with old stuff, so that nothing goes to the tip before you find yourself asking the question: hmmm what can I do with this?
- And things are never ‘broken’ – they’re just waiting to be fixed.
A revolution resolution!

Meet the team
It started as a group of friends swapping stories about personal make it and mend it triumphs. Everyone had a tip to share. If we had this many skills between us, what would happen if a group became a crowd… a community?
