Splott Benthyg launches in new home at Railway Gardens on Wednesday 23rd November.
The pinch of the cost-of-living crisis has affected all of us & borrowing items instead of buying them new is a fantastic way to save money, save space & save the environment, by stopping unwanted items ending up in landfill.
Benthyg Cymru is Wales’ Library of Things and has one simple goal; to make borrowing as easy as popping out for a loaf of bread.
It is a place where you can:
- Borrow things you need but don’t own
- Donate things you own but don’t need
- Meet people to share knowledge and skills with your community
A new Benthyg is officially launching in Splott 12-1.30pm on Wednesday 23rd November 2022, where you can borrow items such as:
- a pressure washer
- children’s party pack
- sewing machine
- air beds & many more; at a low cost.
Tracey James borrowed a food dehydrator & said:
“the borrowing process was straightforward. The dehydrator was in immaculate condition & fun to use. I used apples, bananas & oranges & am looking forward to using it again.”
Just visit the website https://splott.benthyg.cymru/ to register for free & start borrowing.
You will find Splott Benthyg at the incredible community space by Green Squirrel at Railway Gardens, Adeline Street, Splott. CF24 2BH.
Regular opening hours will be every Wednesday 10am-1pm. We also offer free delivery & collection across Cardiff on a Friday.
Splott Benthyg is also looking for volunteers to support the project & donations for their inventory including:
- Power screw driver
- Wallpaper steamer
- Garden fork & spade
