SHARE FROME

SHARE Frome is a Library of Things. People come to borrow things they use infrequently rather than buying them and them sitting redundant most of the year. The benefit of borrowing over buying is that it frees up space in our homes, saves us money and creates a positive sense of community that is working together to protect the planet. SHARE also repairs and repurposes items and materials.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
