Staff
Hi, I’m Ruth the CEO at Share and Repair. I’m very proud to be working with such a wonderful team of staff and such exceptional volunteers, across all our projects we couldn’t achieve what we do without them. I love being part of an organisation that works so practically to change attitudes to repair and reuse and which encourages sharing and community spirit across the area.

Hi, I am the Shop Manager. I look after our fantastic volunteers and customers on a daily basis and there is never a dull moment! I ensure the Library of Things and repairs schedule are running smoothly. Through our work at Share and Repair I am committed to changing behaviour and reducing landfill.
When not at work I love to be outdoors, walking, paddle boarding and playing netball and football.
Hi, I’m Jessie, the Volunteer Coordinator for Share and Repair. Volunteers are the life blood of everything that happens at Share and Repair. I love that the shop is a hive of activity on any given day, bustling with highly skilled volunteers from all walks of life!
Hi, I’m Hila, the Community Engagement Manager. I’m excited to be part of an organisation that makes a significant impact on both the community and the environment. I truly appreciate and admire all our wonderful volunteers who dedicate their time and effort to making all these great initiatives happen. Working together, we are creating positive change and fostering a sustainable future.
Hi, I’m Sarah, I run all the social media for Share and Repair. I love travelling to beautiful European cities and learning languages! I really enjoy working freelance for Share and Repair because it’s a wonderful team of people with something different happening every week. Recently I’ve been particularly enjoying making Reels about what we do!

Hello, I’m Si and I coordinate the repair process at the shop. I started as a volunteer repairer before taking on the freelance repair coordinator role. My job is to support our repairers and customers to make the repair experience as smooth as I can – like a well oiled sewing machine. One of the joys of my work is seeing the smiles that successful repairs put on the faces of both our customers and our repairers.
Hi I’m Caroline and I keep the books for Share and Repair, making sure everything is in order, and chasing that last missing receipt!
I also run my local community hall and manage my two children. I am obsessed with recycling and rescuing things from the tip so working with the Share and Repair team is perfect for me!

Meet our
Trustees
I volunteer because I am passionate about making a tangible difference in my community. Initially, I contributed as a repairer before becoming a founding trustee and then chair in 2025.
This role enables me to collaborate with like-minded individuals and contribute to initiatives that promote environmental sustainability and community well-being. Volunteering in this capacity not only allows me to give back to my local area but also provides personal fulfilment through active participation in causes that matter deeply to me.
I bring 20+ years of experience in and around the voluntary sector, including as social enterprise founder, evaluator and corporate philanthropy manager.
I am currently doing a PhD about volunteering and act as our Board Secretary.
I volunteer for Share and Repair as I believe in the local and community-focussed approach to environmental issues as a very positive form of direct action. I especially enjoy the enthusiasm of our staff and volunteers who are all so passionate and have fabulous skills, ideas and experience to share.
I have spent most of my career working in rail transport in Britain, Europe and North America and am currently working part-time as an independent consultant. I have been living in Widcombe, Bath for the past 20 years.
I’ve been volunteering in the Share & Repair shop since 2023, and enjoyed it so much that I ended up becoming a trustee!
I became a trustee in 2024, having previously joined the Share and Repair team as a volunteer cafe lead, setting up the Bear Flat cafe the year before. In my trustee role I work closely with Hila supporting our Repair Cafe work.
In my day job I am a sustainability consultant, specialising in behaviour change around waste and recycling. We do lots of work with community groups and are always looking for opportunities to encourage reuse, repair and waste reduction, so the work of Share and Repair is very close to my heart.
