Make sure you have borrowed any of our spring things by Wednesday this week, such as gardening tools and party decorations for your Easter celebrations!
We will be closed for the Easter weekend, on Friday 19th, Saturday 20th and Monday 22nd. We will be open again and running as usual on Wednesday 24th.
Also, don’t forget to return anything before then, to avoid any late fees!
Happy Spring!

As you have probably noticed, the weather is always up and down. Sun one day, snow and hail the next. We had one of the the warmest February days recorded, and a month later it finally feels like spring has arrived, so why not start preparing for the warmer days? We have a lot of bits and pieces at The Share Shop that can save you money during the spring and summer months.
It’s seed sowing season and time to start working in the garden, so instead of buying new gardening tools, why not see if The Share Shop has what you’re looking for? See gardening tools
If you’re thinking of having a BBQ or outdoor party, we have a good quality barbeque and tools, camping chairs, bunting and other events items to save you money. Plastic consumption is a big problem at the moment, so instead of buying throwaway cutlery and plates, you could borrow some of our good quality glasses, plates and cutlery. See event items
Need to keep the kids entertained, outside and off the TV/phones/ipads? We have various sports equipment, as well as other fun things for kids, such as a paddling pool, a hoola hoop, roller blades and scooters. See Childrens and Sports

We’d like to encourage all borrowers to return items in as good condition as possible.
Bringing back items clean improves the efficiency of SHARE as a community resource.
As much as we’d love to provide the service of cleaning items that have been brought back dirty, we sadly don’t have the resources. i.e. When a lawn mower comes back with grass still in it we have no courtyard out back to empty it (we don’t even have our own wheelie bin!) Similarly, we don’t have hot water in the shop so can’t easily clean kitchen items that come back messy.
So please do make every effort to bring items back in a similar state to how you borrowed them.
Despite other members loving the concept of sharing, it doesn’t extend to sharing mess left by a previous borrower. If things are brought back in a particularly bad state we may have to ask you take the item back and bring it back clean, or even ask for a fee. But don’t worry, this will only happen in extreme cases. So long as you’ve done what you can to clean any mess you’ve made and brought the item back in a similar state to how you borrowed it then that’s fine by us.

As a new year rolls in, we all have great intentions for the 12 months ahead. But as time goes by, our goals can seem more daunting and less attainable. A lot of the time, this is simply because we don’t know where to start! Here’s a great place to start chipping away at those big goals: in the centre of Frome, at our library of things.

Since the library of things opened in early 2015, it has served the community in a lot more ways than individuals borrowing things for their use at home. SHARE’s members include many businesses and organisations in the local area. Thanks to our huge inventory of DIY and events equipment, our community enterprise has been a crucial resource for many more projects that support our values of spending less, wasting less, and strengthening community ties.

The SHARE Christmas Window Display
Around 5 million tonnes of waste – both recyclable and not – is created around Christmas in the UK every year, equivalent to 450,000 double decker buses. At SHARE we want to do our small part in reducing this number by encouraging borrowing from our growing selection of Christmas items.
