Our year in review 2022/23

It's happening...the world is waking up to borrowing rather than buying!

The tide is turning and circular solutions are becoming not only commonplace, but a critical part of how our economy and society are evolving to address the simultaneous climate and cost of living crises. More than 6,000 people borrowed 10,000 Things Things in 2022/23 avoiding hundreds of tonnes of waste and carbon emissions, bringing tens of thousands of people to valuable community spaces and saving borrowers hundreds of thousands of pounds.

We continue to see burgeoning demand for access to borrowing, exciting new partnerships and a surge in enquiries from other organisations wanting to harness our technology to power rental. So watch this space… rental is going mainstream!
