Walthamstow Tool Library

Tool lending library run by local residents and Forest Recycling Project with 500+ gardening and DIY tools to hire.

We additionally run events that bring the local community together and promote skills sharing, reducing waste and tending to green spaces. Walthamstow Tool Library was developed by residents of the William Morris Ward and made possible by William Morris Big Local funding & the London Borough of Waltham Forest. Our aim is to become a vibrant community hub that connects people and ideas to make our

lives and surroundings greener, healthier and more inclusive! In 2022 we are running a community-led summer activity programme which is funded by Awards for All. Learn more about it on www.frpuk.org/wtl2022.

Dear community,

During Tuesday's session, on 14th of April, when we were inside WTL's building your reservations were waiting outside prepared to be picked up, as always. Shortly after 5pm someone stole a number of tools, the worth of over £300 pounds. It is a painful loss to us all. The tools were expensive, and in constant use by you at many occasions. If anyone saw any suspicious activity around that time please let us know. If you are a Priory Court resident and have a camera, even far from our site, please check the footage for someone carrying the listed tools. Anything can help.
The case will be reported to the Police.
On that occasion we would like to ask you to have patience waiting for tools availability.
Donations and other support are welcome.

Tools that has been stolen:
- Makita orbital sander,
- Black and Decker multi tool,
- Festival trolley.
- Ginour detail sander,
- Erbauer multi tool bits set,
- Face shield,
- 8" half round file.
