Since Benthyg's beginning, volunteers have been at the heart of everything we do. Their time, skills and energy help us support our local community.  By volunteering, you can make a real difference, connect with other, develop new skills, and broadening your own horizons.

Benthyg is a welcoming place where people of all backgrounds can borrow and donate useful household items.  We also encourage skill sharing through repair, maintenance and testing our items.  We recognise and value the wide range of practical, technical and interpersonal skills our volunteers bring.  Benthyg relies on its committed team to deliver a high-quality, reliable service that benefits the whole community.

Some of the skills we need to sustain Benthyg include the following:

- Hosting / Reception / Front of House (Helping members borrow things)

- Social Media (Shouting about how awesome Benthyg is and what we have to offer)

- Administration / Organisation (Helping keep us super streamlined and efficient)

- Events (Organising really cool events to share skills and showcase our things)

- Repairer / Fixer / Tester (work together to troubleshoot, fix and maintain our things)

- Skill Sharer (plan and host practical events on DIY, sewing, gardening or upcycling)

Volunteers are encouraged to work together and learn from each other.

If the above has caught your interest and you would like to get involved, drop us an email to a branch email address  in "Our branches" with your contact details and volunteering interests and we will come back to you as soon as possible!

Thanks,

Team Benthyg
