About Share Salisbury
Share Salisbury is a community-led charity that helps people save money, reduce waste, and live more sustainably. We run a Library of Things, where local residents can borrow useful items – from DIY tools to household equipment – instead of buying new. By sharing resources, we support our community and reduce environmental impact.

Here's our website: Share Salisbury
