Our mission

Why Are We fundraising?

Help us #GetBathBorrowing!

Did you know that in 2022, according to the World Health Organisation – humans were responsible for the creation of an estimated 62 million tonnes of e-waste; reportedly enough to fill trucks bumper-to-bumper stretching around the equator. This is expected to increase to 82 million tonnes by 2030!

We want to change that by making borrowing instead of buying items more accessible to everyone through our Library of Things.

We run our Library of Things from our shop in Central Bath, but we are working with Mulberry Park Hub to locate some lockers of items from our Library of Things there. This will give greater access to borrowing items instead of buying to residents in the South of Bath, saving money, time and the environment.

Whilst we use our cargo bike every day as a brilliant service offering deliveries around Bath, the addition of lockers in Mulberry Park Hub will enable customers to pick up and drop off items at at their own convenience.

Where would they be?

Mulberry Park Hub

We estimate these would be the first lockers in the south west!

Library of Things lockers already exist around London, help us achieve our goal of having the first lockers in the South West! This would be a huge achievement and make Bath’s residents more aware of the benefits of borrowing instead of buying.

We’re already the first high street shop with both Repairs and a Library of Things in the South – help us beat this next record!

Locker Sponsorship

Could your business sponsor a locker at Mulberry Park Hub?

The lockers will be positioned in accessible locations within The Hub and open for use generally 8am – 8pm most days. As you may be aware the Hub is a very popular space, this is a great way to raise the profile of what you offer with the community in Combe Down and the surrounding area. This community initiative will help make borrowing easier, saving people money and time, whilst also reducing the amount of items purchased for one off or irregular uses.

Advertise your business

The lockers will be small, medium and large in size. You will have the opportunity to either provide a decal (or pay £20 for us to get this printed) which will be on the locker door for at least 1 year.  In addition, we will have extensive social media coverage and be celebrating our sponsors in our newsletters and on our website. 
 

Cost of Marketing on the front of the locker:

Small Locker - £500

Suitable for most DIY equipment

Medium Locker - £1000

Suitable for larger gardening tools and DIY equipment

Large Locker - £1500

Suitable for our popular professional Carpet Cleaner

 Donations would need to be ideally made online during the week of the 22nd – 29th April as then they will be matched by the Big Give.
