Thing donations welcome

Donate things - Person using impact driver

If you have a Thing that you think others would love to borrow, that is good quality, in good working order, you no longer want and are happy to donate then please email us at hello@sharebristol.org.uk to discuss and we’ll let you know if we have space and need for it. Unless you are donating for Winterbourne then please see the section below.

In general we can only take donations that meet the following criteria:

  • Good working order
  • Good quality (they need to withstand getting a lot of use)
  • Relatively easy for one person to transport (not too heavy or bulky)
  • Something that will be useful to borrow for two weeks or less
  • No petrol items
  • No chainsaws
