## **Objectives**
The objectives of Belfast Tool Library, as stated in our Articles of Association are to:
- a) advance the education of the public in Belfast and surrounding areas (‘the area of benefit’) in DIY, making and repair skills by operating a tool library and providing training opportunities; and
- b) advance citizenship and community development in the area of benefit by promoting volunteering, self-sufficiency and the circular economy.
Belfast Tool Library pursues these objectives through the provision of Northern Ireland’s first tool lending library, a community workshop and offering regular classes in practical skills. We lend an extensive variety of tools to our members covering household, DIY and home maintenance, crafting, gardening, vehicle and bicycle maintenance.

## **Company Limited by Guarantee**
## **Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report)** _**(continued)**_
## **Year ended 31 May 2025**
## **History**
Belfast Tool Library opened its doors to the public on 5th October 2019, after a year of work to plan and implement the project.
Belfast Tool Library’s launch was supported by a £10,000 grant for The National Lottery’s Awards for All programme, which supported the start-up costs associated with the project. The project was also supported by the donation of tools and equipment by many private individuals.
We are part of a growing global movement of similar projects with a shared ethos; to facilitate accessible, affordable borrowing for everyone, reducing waste, building community resilience, teaching new skills and supporting a sustainable lifestyle.
## **Governance and Structure**
Belfast Tool Library is governed and managed by an 6-person Board of Trustees; Christine McCartney (Chairperson), Stephen Wood (Company Secretary), Chris Harding, Rowan Davison, Cathy Woodside and Paulina Pawalka.
We are a Company Limited by Guarantee operating on a not-for-profit basis and as of 18 October 2022 are registered with the Charity Commission of Northern Ireland.
On an operational level we are staffed by two part time staff members, 3 freelance class tutors, and by a team of over 30 volunteers.
## **Activities**
Belfast Tool Library operates a tool lending library, community workshop and programme of classes in practical skills based in east Belfast. The library is open to members who can join for a fee of £25 per year. Membership is open to anyone over the age of eighteen who wishes to avail of our service. We offer reduced or free membership to individuals who are in financial hardship and to our active volunteers.
Our members can borrow tools from our inventory of over 1000 items, spanning hand tools, power tools, gardening tools and crafting equipment. Members may borrow up to 6 tools at a time for a duration of one week. Aside from yearly membership our members are charged no fee for this service, provided tools are returned on time. A late fee of £2 per tool per missed return date is charged on late returns.
Access to our Community Workshop is free for Belfast Tool Members and we typically charge between £30 and £40 per person for our classes, with a small discount for members.
Our extensive inventory includes tools purchased by Belfast Tool Library, but is primarily stocked by ongoing tool donations. Many private individuals have given generously to the project during our regular donation drives, and we have also been supported by donations from fellow charity Tools for Solidarity, from manufacturer Stanley, Black and Decker and from businesses and other organisations through Invest NI’s International Synergies programme.
In addition to the lending of tools, our team of experienced volunteers are on hand to provide our members with advice on the jobs they plan to undertake.
Belfast Tool Library also undertakes the process of tool repair and maintenance. All tools donated to us are fully inspected and tested before being added to inventory, and repairs are carried out where possible. Our tools are also inspected and tested when they are returned by our members after a loan period.

## **Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report)** _**(continued)**_
## **Year ended 31 May 2025**
## **2024-2025 Summary**
The 22-23 reporting year was one exciting development and growth for Belfast Tool Library, where we continued to see an ongoing increase in demand for our services.
In the reporting year we saw considerable increases in our membership, in usage of the library, opening of our workshop and the beginning of a regular programme of skills-based classes. This is covered in more detail later in this report, under “Public Benefit”.
The major event for Belfast Tool Library in the reporting year was the recruitment of our first paid staff members, with support of a £99,843 grant over a three-year period from the Dormant Accounts NI fund delivered by the National Lottery.
In summer 2022 we recruited two part-time staff members on 3-year contracts. The were Library & Volunteer Coordinator and Workshop & Training Coordinator, filled by Ema Buchanan and Freddie Harris respectively. These roles allowed us to strengthen and develop our volunteer team, grow our library, open our community workshop space and launching our program of learning opportunities through classes and courses.
To the role of Library & Volunteer Coordinator, Ema brings a wealth of HR and business experience. Ema was previously a volunteer with Belfast Tool Library, joining us at the beginning of the project in 2019, so she also brings a strong dedication to our values and goals and a network of relationships with our team. Freddie, our Workshop & Training Coordinator, brings significant experience across a range of voluntary sector roles, and the practical know-how and can-do attitude needed to help us expand our offering through our workshop and classes.
These new roles will allow us grow our operations and turnover in order to make the roles sustainable beyond the 3-year scope of the funding.
Securing this funding from Dormant Accounts represented a transformative moment for Belfast Tool Library, taking us from being entirely volunteer operated to becoming employers and to putting in place the capacity and structures to secure our long- term sustainability.
The major factor outside our control in the reporting year was the need to move premises. This could have been an insurmountable challenge as a volunteer-only organisation, but with two part time staff able to co-ordinate an expanded volunteer team, we ended the year with a successful relocation to our new premises on the Shankill Road. The new location offer advantages and expands our reach into the north and west of the city, though we wait to see if it deters some members who are now live further away. It has been a significant draw on time, energy and our financial reserves, and has naturally led to the delay of some new initiatives while the preparation, move and set up in the new location took place.
## **Public Benefit**
Our beneficiaries fall under several distinct categories; our members, our volunteers, the general public and other voluntary organisations.
## **Member Benefits**
Our members can avail of Belfast Tool Library’s extensive and growing inventory of tools and equipment and the knowledge of our volunteer team around tools, making and DIY.
In the year to 31st May 2023, we grew our membership from 370 to 460 members and completed 4152 tool loans compared to 3217 in the previous year. This represents a 24% membership increase and 30% increase in usage.

## **Company Limited by Guarantee**
## **Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report)** _**(continued)**_
## **Year ended 31 May 2025**
## **Member Benefits** _**(continued)**_
Between the opening of Belfast Tool Library in October 2019 and 31st May 2023 we have completed a total of 9794 loans, providing our members with almost 70,000 days of tool access.
We have calculated the average value of each tool loan to our members as £47. This means that as of 31st May 2023 we have saved our members more than £460,318 over the cost of buying the same tools.
In the reporting year we’ve prepared and opened the BTL workshop after substantial preparations in terms of health and safety checks and signage, equipment installation, developing induction processes, recruiting skilled volunteers, and carrying out the necessary training. Policies and procedures were developed, including a comprehensive 3-hour tool safety induction.
Since the launch of our workshop in November 2022, we inducted 80 number members for safe use of our workshop, and ran over 40 open workshop sessions with a total of 357 workshop hours provided to our members.
In the reporting year we ran 21 classes, teaching practical skills in joinery and craft to 110 people. Our class topics were as follows:
- Build Your Own Birdbox
- Build Your Own Herb Planter
- Making a Hardwood Phone Dock
- Basic Signmaking
- Concrete Plant Pot Casting
-
We have given our members the opportunity to develop new skills in making, crafting and DIY through providing them with access to tools and equipment which they might not otherwise have been able to obtain, through sharing the wealth of knowledge within our staff and volunteer team, and through access to free space to work (which may not be available in their own properties) and through affordable classes with experienced tutors.
## Volunteer Benefits
In the reporting year, thanks to the hard work of our staff members we grew and strengthened our volunteer team, recruiting 25 new volunteers across the lending library and workshop to provide more effective support to members and expand what we were offering in both areas. In the library, with extra capacity we’ve been able to add tools to our inventory, revamp volunteer systems and increase our social media presence.
Belfast Tool Library’s volunteers are entitled to the full benefits of membership at no cost in recognition of their vital role in the sustainability of the organisation.
Additionally, our volunteers have access to opportunities for learning and developing skills through the vast knowledge base within our team. Our volunteers have been upskilled in tool repair and maintenance, database management and knowledge around tools, first aid, health and safety, DIY and making.
## Public Benefits
By accepting donations of tools from individuals and businesses, we have provided a useful opportunity for them to dispose of items sustainably, without waste. Further, hundreds of donated tools were repaired to working order, bringing them back into use.
The environmental impact of diverting unwanted or no longer needed items from landfill and recycling

is significant.

## Public Benefits (continued)
Belfast Tool Library has generated significant media and press interest due to its place at the cutting edge of a growing global movement, and has cultivated an extensive and engaged following on social media.
Through this we have promoted the ethos of repair, waste reduction, and affordable borrowing over buying. Raising public awareness of the circular economy is central to the goals of Belfast Tool Library. Prior to our premises move, we held a yard sale of surplus tools, which had been checked, maintained and sharpened by our team, offered to the public at low cost.
## Benefit to Other Organisations
Belfast Tool Library has donated significant quantities of tools and equipment to Tools for Solidarity, a charity which refurbishes tools for use by craftspeople in sub-Saharan Africa. We have made our workshop space available to partner organisations such as Vault Artists Studios and Repair Café Belfast to support repair, reuse and crafting activities.
We also participate in the UK wide Sharefest network of similar lending and repair projects, where we contribute to peer-learning and information exchange. We are members of the Northern Ireland Resources Network, and were featured in a video, offering information and inspiration to other community groups and organisations interested in setting up similar projects. We regularly offer oneto-one advice to groups within and beyond this network.
## **Harm**
The main risk of harm from our activities is injury through unsafe use of our tools. To manage this risk we have full public liability insurance for our activities, and in obtaining this we went through a rigorous process of risk assessment and policy development to ensure that we manage the risks related to our activities.
## **Private Benefit**
Belfast Tool Library has undertaken improvement work to our premises. This necessary work has provided incidental benefit to the building owners.
## **Statement of Compliance**
In setting our objectives and planning our activities for the year the trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland’s guidance on public benefit to ensure that the activities have helped to achieve the charity’s purposes and provide a benefit to the beneficiaries.
## **Small company provisions**
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Belfast Tool Library**
## **Year ended 31 May 2025**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Belfast Tool Library ('the charity') for the year ended 31 May 2025.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 (the ‘2008 Act’) and the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). You are satisfied that the accounts of the company are not required by charity or company law to be audited and have chosen instead to have an independent examination.
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements as carried out under section 65 of the 2008 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the 2008 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with my examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
I confirm that there are no other matters to which your attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Belfast Tool Library**
## **Company Limited by Guarantee**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements**
## **Year ended 31 May 2025**
## **1. General information**
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in Northern Ireland and a registered charity in Northern Ireland. The address of the registered office is 116 Shankill Road, Belfast, BT134 2BD.
## **2. Statement of compliance**
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.
## **3. Accounting policies**
## **Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
## **Going concern**
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
## **Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty**
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
## **Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
- income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
- legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
- income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.

## **Company Limited by Guarantee**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_
## **Year ended 31 May 2025**
## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_
- income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
## **Resources expended**
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
- expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
- expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
- other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
## **Tangible assets**
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
## **Depreciation**
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Plant & Machinery - 20% straight line IT Equipment - 33% straight line Fixtures & Fittings - 20% straight line
