I am a moderator for our local Freelge group. Our aim is to keep things out of landfill, helping unwanted goods find new homes.
We had a lovely gazebo, a new strong table, and some new very posh banners (thanks to a successful funding bid) as you can see from the photo below, we filled up the table and the gazebo with loads of stuff ready for people to take away..totally free of charge!
Sadly, many people found the concept of "FREE" very hard to understand, and wanted to pay for the items they took. We had to explain again that FREEGLE means FREE and there is no charge for offering or requesting items from our site (or taking things from our gazebo) but if they wanted to, they could pop a donation into a bucket, then the money donated to the event charity ( A local Cancer Charity).
This is Tracy, one of our group owners.
The day was quite warm and very sunny, and we had a lovely time. We have met loads of new people, and we hope many of them will join our group!!
