ALT Benthyg Penarth logo. Two photos of Anthony, one head and shoulders shot and one with hedge trimmer and cargo bike. Text reads I've borrowed from Benthyg Penarth. What will you borrow?

Help spread the word about our local Library of Things!
We'd like everyone in Penarth to know they can borrow things they don't own but need.
We are offering free borrowing for local people who sign up to help us shine a light on borrowing.

Please spread the word about the pantry, help save waste, save the planet and have some great food !
All of this was £5 from the @SRCDC_Cardiff Pantry in Riverside yesterday, donated a couple of non-vegan things on Olio (cornflakes and bean burgers) as they weren’t vegan. Such a bargain! #NatsJanFoodBudget

Wow, 4 years since we started talking about making this happen in Cardiff. It’s been a big learning curve since then and we’re very proud to have come so far. Next up we want a Benthyg in every community around Wales, who’s with us? 💪💪

As we enter a second lockdown here in Cardiff, we are kicking off our #CropShare initiative. With the uncertainty of things as they are right now, growing veg, cooking nourishing food and staying connected can give comfort and inner strength.

🧐 “People should repair goods and share more, instead of owning all their appliances”
Well, we agree completely! Did you know we have nearly 400 items to borrow including cleaning, gardening and DIY equipment? What will you borrow?
