Cost of living

People can struggle to afford the cost of buying or renting tools, or don't have space to store them.  Many people moving into a first property need many tools all at once, which can put pressure on budgets.

Environment

Lots of people buy tools that sit unused in sheds or garages for most of the year. Borrowing instead of buying uses less resources and reduces waste.

Fresh start

Many people want to try starting their own side hustle or small business but struggle with the upfront costs involved in getting going. 

Information

Helping people discover other community services that they could benefit from.

People from our local communities are looking for all sorts of things, we don't all need to own things we might only use every so often. 

Sharing things helps each other out.  It helps reduce our carbon footprint, safeguarding our wonderful shared world for the next generation.
