about Sharebee

Why do we always have to give things up to do something good for the planet?

Our money, time, space, the things we want to do or eat, our holidays and our cars. We think that you should be able to do and have the things you need without damaging the environment. By sharing the things you have and borrowing the things you need, you'll have more with less, less impact on the planet, less time and money wasted, and less space taken up.

sharing is smart - you can make money by lending and save money by borrowing.

sharing is good - the more we share, the less we need to make, the happier we feel.

Sharebee makes sharing easy – safely connecting people who want to lend with people who want to borrow. Protecting stuff that is lent, tracking who has got your stuff, saving time, space and money. And every time you lend or borrow you'll be saving some C02. Lets stop defaulting to buying things we only use once or twice and start sharing instead.

borrowing: how it works
what our members say
Once I got over the initial awkwardness of asking it became obvious that everyone in my hive is joined by the same intentions, sharing and being kind. The whole process was slick from viewing, paying and right through to returning all the mountaineering equipment I enjoyed that weekend.

I try to buy 2nd hand because I know manufacturing equals pollution. But I don’t have the space in my small flat to store things I only use a handful of times in a year. Sharebee is brilliant because I can borrow for a fraction of the price and then send the item back when I’m done so it’s not cluttering up my space!.

I’ve offered a lot of my tools and gardening equipment on and lent out several of them – including my cordless lawn mower and my jet wash.The same person has borrowed my lawn mower 3 times. Everything has been returned in good condition and the payments will contribute to when I need to replace something. It's easy to use and free to join.

the community

Want to borrow something specific but no one’s listed it? Use the community to let other Sharebee members know what you are looking for.

When a new request is posted, we’ll notify the sharing community so they can help you track it down. Maybe they already have it or know someone who does – you’ll never know unless you ask.

your hive

Alone is hard. Together is easy. By sharing resources with people we know, we can have more with less. Less cost. Less wasted time. Less impact on the environment.

Are there some things you only want to share with people you know?

By building a hive you can share privately whilst tracking who you’ve lent to and protecting your things against loss or breakage. Invite your friends, family, and neighbours to make better use of your resources, have more with less and help protect your environment.

Build a Hive for your club or team.

Whether you take part in some adventurous activity, are part of a band or play in a team, a hive can help you make better use of all the gear and equipment you collectively own. Your group will save money and reduce its impact on the planet.

Build a Hive for your business.

We spend so much time with colleagues at work, but we don’t think to ask them when we need something, we don’t immediately think about sharing so we all end up buying the same things. By building a hive for your business you’ll be improving its environmental credentials and giving your employees the ability to list the things they are willing to lend to each other as well as listing the things your business has for general use. Your business hive will benefit everyone you employ and show that you care about reducing the impact you’re having on the Earth.
