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 the environment impact.Β We are delighted that the North London Waste Authority Community Fund funded the project in 2024/25 Β which helped us get to a point where we can self fund.
This is all made possible now by having enough membership income the balance the running costs. Please continue to support us by staying a member or becoming one.
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 local volunteers.
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!
