Borrow Don't Buy - Expert Impact

Esther Scali,

Borrow Don’t Buy CIC

Met with Michael Howard

We are Plymouth’s Library of Things. We lend items that don’t need to be bought to our local community, saving our members money, space and helping them to reduce their carbon footprints. We promote repair and reuse of items and obtain as many of the items as we can second hand.

Michael was brilliant, incredibly easy to talk to, and really supportive from the get go. His enthusiasm and focus meant that in just one hour we managed to touch on several areas, work out where priorities lay, and come up with an action plan. Expert Impact providing access to this kind of support and expertise is hugely confidence boosting, thank you!
