What to Share

All sorts of things can be shared!

Household objects and garden implements and tools can be shared, such as sewing machines, books and films, your power drill, or that handy ladder.

Garden produce can be shared; when your broccoli goes crazy and takes over your garden you could offer some to your neighbours. Or if you have a lemon tree and there are only so many lemon tarts you can eat.

But not only "stuff" can be shared – skills are meant to be shared also! Maybe you need gardening help and someone in your street has the greenest thumb in town, or that darn printer is broken again and the teenager four doors down is a computer whiz. Not to mention learning languages, the tango, help with accountancy, childminding and the million other things we could share, while strengthening our communities at the same time.

For great ideas of how other people are using The Sharehood to share, see our page of your stories and our resources page and get sharing!
