About Benthyg Cymru

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 has been set up to provide benefit to communities around Wales by creating a culture of resilience and environmental sustainability that brings communities together to share items, knowledge and skills. Our mission is to operate a network of places where people can: • access affordable borrowing of things they need but don't own, saving money and space in their homes • donate things they own but don't need, contributing to national waste reduction targets • meet to share knowledge and skills with each other, increasing community resilience. Our vision is to create a Wales-wide network of Benthygs with a branch in every neighbourhood, so wherever you are in Wales, you can borrow whatever you need cheaply and easily. Items that will be available to borrow include gardening and DIY tools, camping equipment and much more, all available to borrow for less than you'd expect to pay second hand, and with the opportunity to pay in time instead of cash. We are building the Benthyg Cymru network by providing insight, expertise and practical resources to develop accessible and inclusive libraries of things with communities around Wales. Our blueprint empowers each community to tailor its Benthyg branch to its needs while maintaining a common ethos of accessibility, inclusivity and sustainability.
