Help spread the word about our local Library of Things!

We'd like everyone in Penarth to know they can borrow things they don't own but need.

We are offering free borrowing for local people who sign up to help us shine a light on borrowing.

It is clear that one of the most vital actions we must take now, so we can heal, is to find our connection once more to our Earth Mother. Here's an awesome app for that! https://t.co/8l0bFDQYOA

What would system change look and feel like for ordinary folk living their lives in the cities, suburbs, towns and villages of Wales? How would it feel at ground level? How would our lives be different? https://t.co/3VelayNJV4

Wow, 4 years since we started talking about making this happen in Cardiff. It’s been a big learning curve since then and we’re very proud to have come so far. Next up we want a Benthyg in every community around Wales, who’s with us? 💪💪

As we enter a second lockdown here in Cardiff, we are kicking off our #CropShare initiative. With the uncertainty of things as they are right now, growing veg, cooking nourishing food and staying connected can give comfort and inner strength.

📢ANNOUNCEMENT!📢

It's been difficult to keep this one quiet, but...

WE'RE LAUNCHING A PODCAST!

Wales' very first podcast that amplifies the voices and stories of refugees and asylum seekers, embraces conversations around their journeys here and challenges public perceptions.

[Benthyg Cymru @benthyg]

We're in the news 👀👀

From this Saturday you have a choice of TWO locations in Cardiff to collect and return your items. We have nearly 400 things to choose from in our inventory - what will you borrow?

Not sure that snitching on your neighbours is the right thing to do? Why not show them you love them instead! If you haven’t got one on your street already, why not start a WhatsApp group for #sharing #solidarity & #mutualaid ?? #toptip #localaction Not sure how? Get in touch!

[Benthyg Cymru @benthyg]

Benthyg is growing!

With all that’s happening in the world, let’s hold on to love, for ourselves, each other & the Earth. This ‘love’ is in the pavement at Waterloo Gardens, Roath. Love in the fabric of the city #beautifulworld #sharing #solidarity #belonging #playfulness #responsibility #openness

🧐 “People should repair goods and share more, instead of owning all their appliances”

Well, we agree completely! Did you know we have nearly 400 items to borrow including cleaning, gardening and DIY equipment? What will you borrow?
