Why Toolshare?

In December 2024, the Toolshare was set up by Nottingham Energy Partnership as part of the National Lottery-funded Green Meadows project.

Now continued by NEP, the Toolshare builds on that Green Meadows legacy by helping more people across Nottingham access the tools they need for DIY, home improvements and retrofit projects.
