supportersShare Bristol wants to open the next location for our Library of Things, in Frenchay, helping North Bristol to borrow, rather than buy.

Anything we raise above what we need to open a third location for our Library of Things will help make the premises more welcoming and better equipped. For example, purchasing furniture, PPE for you to borrow, consumables for the things we lend out and parts to repair donated items. Anything above what we need for our Frenchay Library of Things will help support our locations in Kingswood and Bedminster to thrive.
Share Bristol opened the first Library of Things in the Bristol area in Kingswood in 2021, and 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 and de-cluttered their homes.
In 2024, sharing came to South Bristol, as we opened our second Library of Things, thanks to a successful Crowdfunder. The local community in Bedminster are now borrowing instead of buying.
We now have an exciting opportunity to open our third Library of Things, helping those in North-East Bristol borrow things closer to home. With the space secured in Frenchay, our small charity now needs the support of the community to fund some of our set-up costs, such as fitting out the space, 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 third location for Share Bristol's Library of Things.
Plus, there's something in it for you! Donating could get you an annual membership for Share Bristol's Library of Things (with use of all three locations), which enables you to borrow hundreds of things, and all for free.
- £20 donation - a voucher of £20 towards a membership (enough to cover a Concession membership for people not in employment)
- £50 donation - A whole year's membership
- £100 donation - Two years membership, or a year for you and a year for a friend
- £150 donation - Three years membership, all for you or share with two friends
- £200 donation - Four years of borrowing? Or maybe share it around.
- £250 donation - Five years of borrowing, or your next five birthday and Christmas presents for friends and family sorted!
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. Every £30 donated helps to subsidise one Concession membership to make borrowing accessible to everyone.
Support us now, and you (and your friends and family) could be borrowing very soon!
