Our purpose is to share things as a community as an alternative to buying things individually. This means through your membership you will be able to reduce your carbon footprint as well as save money. We aim our our service towards the needs of people who live in smaller homes in areas of lower income.
We charge monthly membership which are designed to be affordable. We are dependent upon people keeping their memberships running for as long as they feel is appropriate. During the membership period it is as cheap to borrow 30 things as it is to borrow 3 things – encouraging people to change their habits.
Members have found they have made things last longer by repairing them and more suited to their lifestyles, got ready for new babies, moved home, try out gardening and all sorts. We are proud that we helped people in domestic emergencies, and made many homes safer.
Borrow It! is a membership organisation run by a Things in Common Ltd. Things in Common is a community benefit society that has charitable status with HMRC and are registered by the Financial Conduct Authority. You can see our official paperwork here
