Walthamstow Tool Library (WTL) is a tool lending library in 2a Priory Court with the mission to make tools both accessible and affordable, while reducing the need to purchase new tools and consequently our impact on the environment. We are delighted that the North London Waste Authority Community Fund have chosen to fund the project in 2024/25.
The project was developed by residents of William Morris Big Local, made possible by WMBL funding with premises provided by the London Borough of Waltham Forest and is run by Forest Recycling Project and volunteers of the local area.
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!
