SOW have sharpening tools available to borrow – see this link for details.

Informal tool sharing among residents is run through the Tool Share WhatsApp group (lend/borrow tools which belong to other group members). To join, email sustainableow@gmail.com.

The Tool Share which used to be at Crossways has been replaced by a new Library of Things, called LENDDIT. This is a pilot programme being organised by the wonderful Swavesey Sheddit.

“We at SHEDDIT! Community Shed are incredibly excited to be launching LENDDIT, our very own Library of Things. This pilot programme marks the beginning of a bold step towards sharing resources, reducing waste, and rethinking ownership within our communities.

Alongside this, we are completing the build of our mobile trailer which will travel to 10 locations across Cambridgeshire. By bringing LENDDIT directly into neighbourhoods, we’re making it easier for people to walk or cycle to borrow and return items, helping to cut carbon emissions while strengthening local connections and advancing our mission for a more sustainable future. Membership is open to anyone in Cambridgeshire: see Lenddit.”

It’s taking a while to photograph and catalogue all the tools, in the meantime if something you need isn’t in the catalogue, email Phil Cohen, drphilcoffee@gmail.com.
