Since Benthyg's beginning, volunteers have been a valuable resource to us and the wider community. By volunteering, you are helping a local community through community involvement, developing new skills and broadening your own horizons.

Benthyg is a social place where people of all ages and backgrounds can borrow and donate household items with skill sharing promoted through repairing and testing our items.  We recognise and value those who have a wide range of hands-on practical and inter-personal skills and relies on its committed team of volunteers to deliver and maintain a high-quality and reliable service. 

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
