Funding and Donations

Book donations please! (09/02/2024)

Now that our shelves are underway we turn to filling them - and this is where you come in! 

We are requesting donations of unwanted or preloved books. We will take any book in any condition, and will collect free from anywhere in the Swindon area; if you only have a few we may wait until there are more in the same area to reduce fuel costs and emissions. Please note that as we are a mobile business we don't currently have a dedicated drop off point.

Some of these donated books will go to our free book swap service, ensuring access for all, and any profits from the rest will go towards resources (including venue hire) for our literacy workshops.

Please get in touch with us at enquiries@swindonstoryshed.co.uk or on any of our social media platforms if you can help!

Thanks for your support,

The Team @ Swindon Story Shed

Upcycling request (03/02/2024)

Hello!

As we prepare to launch Swindon Story Shed later this year, we are seeking your help to create our unique light, portable bookcases (don’t worry, we’re not asking you to become master carpenters!).

As part of our commitment to sustainability, we are asking for donations of any unused wood that would otherwise go to landfill – things like bed frames and slats, unused laminate planks, battens and pallets are ideal! We are happy to collect anywhere within the Swindon area.

Any style, colour or staining is fine, but we cannot use wood that is split or damaged as it may create a safety hazard.

If you would like to help please message us on any of our social media platforms, or email us at enquiries@swindonstoryshed.co.uk and one of our fabulous team will get back to you ASAP.

Thank you for your support,

The Team @ Swindon Story Shed
