SHARE BRISTOL
Share Bristol provides a library of things service to the people of Bristol and South Gloucestershire. Our vision is that everybody shares, and we help them do this by providing hundreds of things for them to borrow at low cost through our charity. This helps the environment and household budgets, and promotes wellbeing through reducing clutter and enabling people to live life to the full.
