Access over 800 items of community donated equipment, cared for by our team of volunteers. 

On average, our Members save over £300 per year on borrowing equipment rather than buying new. And the more you use the service, the more you save.

We store and maintain the equipment for you, saving you space and stress. Much more convenient than buying second hand.

The average item in our inventory costs £50, which means you save money if you only use the service once. 

As a not-for-profit and community-run charity, all money gets reinvested back into providing access to useful and empowering equipment, our volunteer and educational programme, and supporting the transition towards a sustainable and circular economy.
