Aim
Share Bristol wants to open the next location for our Library of Things, helping BS5 to borrow the everyday things they don't use every day.
All donations and reward purchases will be doubled thanks to match funding from the Aviva Community Fund!
At Share Bristol our vision is that everybody shares, so we’re making it easier for everyone in Bristol to borrow everyday things they don’t need every day – tools, camping equipment, party kits, games, kitchen gadgets and so much more. We help people to save money, save space in their homes, and live more sustainably, reducing their impact on the environment through our community-led Library of Things.
We opened our first location in Kingswood in 2021. Since then, hundreds of people have borrowed instead of bought, completed DIY projects, held great parties, sorted their gardens, kept the kids occupied, been camping, saved lots of money, de-cluttered their homes and reduced their carbon emissions.
Thanks to successful Crowdfunders in 2023, 2024, and 2025, we brought the circular economy to more communities in Bristol, as we opened our Library of Things in Bedminster, on UWE's Frenchay campus, and in Winterbourne.
We now have an exciting opportunity to open our fifth location, helping more people in Bristol borrow Things closer to home. With the space secured in BS5, our small charity now needs the support of the community to fund some of our set-up costs, buying racking to help us store things, and funding a part-time Library Manager to help make this dream a reality!
Please donate today to help us cement our dreams of opening the fifth location for Share Bristol's Library of Things.
Plus, there's something in it for you! You can purchase a Reward to give you an exclusive three-month trial membership for Share Bristol's Library of Things (with use of all of our existing locations, including Easton when it opens), which enables you to borrow thousands of things, and all for free. Enjoy the trial, and you can upgrade to the full Standard membership for only £25 for the rest of the year.
Not in need of a membership now, but keen to support Share Bristol anyway? Donate any amount to reduce the number of items going to landfill, and help others in your community to borrow the Things they need to live their lives. For pure donations, with no membership attached, you can even include Gift Aid to make your donation go further.
Note: Rewards expire one year from purchase - please first register an account at www.sharebristol.org.uk then contact us on [email protected] or visit an existing Share Bristol location and show us your confirmation email to activate.
