Share, prevent waste,
save money, feel good
How often do
you find yourself
needing a carpet
cleaner, a garden
strimmer, a tent or a
drill but you didn’t
want to buy one or go
through the hassle of
sourcing it from a
friend?
A community action
group (CAG) in Oxford
called ‘SHARE Oxford’
is setting up a
community-led and
community-focused
‘library of things’
precisely for
those sort of things!
The two volunteer
coordinators have done
a lot of groundwork,
and are planning the
next stage - preparing
a soft launch.
We are now searching
for members of the
group and for people
to make the service
happen. If you fancy becoming
a borrower voting
member, applying
your skills,
sharing your knowledge
or learning more about
zero waste,
the sharing
or circular economy
and putting it into
practice, or simply
getting to meet
like-minded people
- we need you on
board. As much or as
little time you can
put in, our offer is
flexible and can
arrange for both
daytime and evening /
weekend opportunities.
Help us make this
innovative project one
that works for all -
for our wellbeing, for
the economy, for our
pockets, and for the
planet. Have a look at
the agenda and
our advertised roles,
consider what you role
you’d be interested
in, and come along to
our first Open General
meeting Tuesday 11th
September 18:30 -
20:00 @ Makespace
Oxford - 1 Aristotle
Lane, OX2 6TP.
If you come, you’ll be
able to see where the
Library is, what it’s
like and what’s in it
so far. If you can't
make it but are still
interested in helping
out, do reply to this
email.
Let us know you’re
coming by emailing
ch...@shareoxford.org.
See you there!
