Aim
Help us to make Share Bristol Easton a success by funding the first lending sessions at our new Easton Library of Things.
Donations are triple match funded, thanks to the Mortgage Advice Bureau Foundation (MABF). So for every £20 you donate, they will donate a further £60, making your support go even further. For every £50 membership purchase made through this Crowdfunder, MABF will donate £150 to Share Bristol - helping our small charity to thrive.
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.
With the support of the Bristol community and the National Lottery's Community Fund, we have raised all we need to set up a new site for our Library of Things in Easton! We now need to raise the funds to power our lending sessions, enabling us to pay for a part-time Library of Things Manager to run the site, train and support volunteers, and keep things running smoothly.
Plus, there's something in it for you! You can purchase a Reward to give you an annual membership for Share Bristol's Library of Things (with use of all of our existing locations, as well as any future ones), which enables you to borrow thousands of things, and all for free.
- Standard membership - £50
- Concession membership (for students & people not in employment) - £20
- Supporter membership (helps us subsidise those Concession memberships, keeping borrowing accessible to all) - £80
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.
Support us now, and you (and your friends and family) could be borrowing very soon!
Note: Vouchers expire one year from purchase - please contact us on [email protected] to activate.
