​​Glasgow Tool Library is a community-led charity that relies on the skills and support of the community to help it grow. Our main voluntary roles are related to the delivery of the tool library service, the maintenance of the tools, and helping to spread the word. Alongside these key activities, there are many other fun events and workshops that we need support with. You may also want to help us with a specific skill so please let us know if you have skills or experience that you think might help us. 

Alongside our main activities, we also hold annual Yard Sales, Community Builds, quarterly training for volunteers, and monthly meetup events.
