Why support us?

We are the knowledge hub for borrowing in Wales. We help local groups set up their own Library to suit their own community, and we provide advice and 
support on insurance, risk, venue, PAT testing, item maintenance, borrower fees and communications to name a few ways we help.

We are a non-profit part funded by Welsh Government and other grant makers. We're not a corporation, and we're not looking to establish franchises across Wales, or to profit from Libraries of Things.

We don't profit from borrowers and nor does the network of Libraries of Things. We support people to borrow not buy, and help them save some money, space in their homes AND as an added bonus, buying less and borrowing more, means there’s less rubbish going to the bin and less carbon emissions. We don't profit from borrowers and nor does the network of Libraries of Things.

Please consider donating to Benthyg Cymru

The Benthyg Cymru network of Libraries of Things spans the length and breadth of Wales, from Gwynedd to Cardiff. We help local groups set up their own Library to suit their own community, and we provide advice and 
support on insurance, risk, venue, PAT testing, item maintenance, borrower fees and communications to name a few ways we help.  

We are the only knowledge hub for borrowing in Wales, there is no other non-profit quite like us in the world.

Part funded by Welsh Government, we rely on the generosity of individuals, organisations and community groups so that we can keep supporting borrowing and the network of Libraries of Things across Wales.
