What is Share Skipton?
Share Skipton is a community-led charity with a vision to create a more sharing, sustainable Skipton.
Our aim is to encourage and enable our communities to share resources, reduce waste, repair and reuse more, and to promote a circular economy.
Weโve created a Library of Things, where locals can borrow items for a fraction of the cost of buying, making it affordable, convenient and kinder to the planet. We are also working on setting up and running Repair Cafรฉs where people can bring broken items to mend rather than replace them. By helping people to share and repair, we can reduce our use of finite resources, CO2 emissions and waste.

We would to thank all those who have provided us with grants, donations and in-kind support, including the following organisations:
