Lend Engine is Launched!

After months of hard work behind the scenes we are very excited to launch our brand new borrowing platform Lend Engine.

The platform allows easy browsing of our entire collection with the ability to see availability and reserve items in real time. Memberships and payments are processed online via Stripe, with each member having their own secure account to manage their toy borrows.

We hope that this step will make the borrowing process more user friendly for our members and free up our team to focus more time on sustaining our wonderful charity for the future!
