A Share & Repair Summer

Sarah Case

The Share and Repair Network is celebrating all the fantastic, sustainable, sharing and repairing activities you can get involved with this summer.

Rain or shine, there are always interesting, new, cheaper and more sustainable ways to enjoy yourself or entertain your family during the summer holidays.

If you want to throw an outdoor party, have a BBQ, play in the garden or park, or go explore the great outdoors, you don’t have to buy brand new items that you’ll only use once a year. Instead, why not borrow items from your local sharing library instead of buying them new? You can also check out your local repair project to fix anything you own that is fit for purpose but needs a quick fix to get it back in working order.

Take a look below to learn more about the amazing share and repair projects across Scotland and what they can offer you this summer.

Share and repair projects and the outdoors:

You can borrow a tent from Wellbeing Works’ Community Toolbox and camping chairs from Remake Scotland.
Borrow a BBQ from Glasgow Tool Library.
Wellbeing Works have you covered for picnics with a picnic basket and blanket.
Want to get your bike in order? Lochaber Environment Group are lending bike repair equipment.
For playing outside with your children go to Made Do and Grow CIC for slides, kites, lawn games, water pistols and more.
For a party outside you can borrow a gazebo from Transition Stirling and some bunting from Linlithgow Development Trust.
