We can reduce our waste by recycling as much as possible. Take a look through our guidance pages for more detailed ideas and information.
Sometimes we have a job that requires a specialist tool, but we don’t always have one to hand. Rather than buying it for just one job, why not borrow it from Maidenhead’s Share a LoT Library of Things.
Share a Lot are a non-profit, volunteer-led organisation lending household and DIY items to the public for a nominal fee. Their intention is to enable borrowers to break away from the linear economy and reduce their environmental impact.
From adjustable hacksaws to tile cutters, they have a variety of tools and equipment to lend.
They even have a travel cot and a highchair for when those little visitors need to stay overnight.
Useful items that you no longer require can also be donated for others to make use of.
For further information or to borrow an item check out their website.
Toy libraries are a great way to improve the local community and improve the access to learning tools for children.
At a toy library, you can borrow from a vast array of well-made toys designed to support your child’s skill development and imagination.
They provide local families a range of quality fun and educational toys, games, puzzles, and activities to borrow or hire for a minimal fee.
Whirli offer a toy loan scheme with a variety of developmental toys and tools to keep your little ones entertained.
