Our opening times are:

Mondays 9am – 1pm

Tuesdays 1pm – 7pm

Wednesday 9am – 1pm

Thursday 1 – 5pm

Fridays 9am – 1pm

We are also open on a Saturday once a month. In December we are open 1pm-4pm on December 21st for the Belle Isle repair café – as well as advice, support and for the use of computers and Wi-Fi. Councillor Rob Chesterfield is holding an advice surgery form 1.30-2.30pm. There is no need to book, just turn up. Remember we can now do sewing repairs as well as electrical & mechanical. Also free toasties! We lend gardening and DIY tools with the Belle Isle tool library.

When you come to the GATE, if we can help you in up to 10 minutes, we will continue to do so. However, if you need more help we will probably book you an appointment to make sure we can help you properly. We offer sessions on Tuesdays 3-7pm and Thursdays 1-5pm where we can offer more support. You could also ring us on 0113 378 2190 to book an appointment directly. If you are not a BITMO tenant, we will probably refer you somewhere else for help, such as to a Community Hub.

    BITMO’s Board has opened a new Winter Warmth Fund for this winter. The Board understand the cost of living crisis that is affecting many people and have allocated money from their budget to pay for goods that can help you and your family keep warm this winter.

    BITMO households in need of extra support can apply for a winter warmth pack which will contain large fleecy sherpa blankets, hot water bottles with covers and fleecy socks, with the amounts depending on how many people are in our household.

    You can find out more and apply for a Winter Warmth Pack here.
