Can I donate to the shed?
Yes! Time, things or money - the generosity of local people is what keeps the Shed running.
A library, but with things
A place to borrow useful things for your home, projects & adventures!
Our item collection & return hours
The live site shows this from an embedded widget. Add the opening-hours table here.
Why?
Because it benefits our local residents, our town & the environment.
Sharing builds community spirit, opens up tasks and hobbies to people who couldn't otherwise afford the kit, and nudges us all to think twice before buying something new.
Why join the Shed?
Members borrow handy items and tools for a week at a time, for £1, £4, £8 or £12 depending on the item.
Workshops and community events are on the way too - and every borrow is a small win for Letchworth and for the planet.
Can I help?
Absolutely, is our answer!
Donate things for the library, lend us your time and skills, or chip in towards running costs. Every offer of help makes a real difference.
