We are Brighton Borrowers, a free to use library of things run by the community for the community.
We have a range of items you can borrow for free whenever you need them. From pressure washers and blenders to tents and toys, we have all sorts of things that you might need only occasionally or for a short period of time.
Many of these have been donated by your neighbours, while others we have bought thanks to a grant from the National Lottery Communities Fund.
We think it’s better for everyone in the community to share the things we don’t use very often, than to each buy the same items and have them collect dust until we need them. Sharing things in this way not only saves money, it also reduces our impact on the environment.
