How it works
It's very simple! (Think Airbnb or eBay)
- Business creates an offer
- Offer sent to local charities
- Charities submit requests
- Business selects a charity
- Details exchanged
- Charity picks up items (in most cases)
Walk me through it
For businesses
Sign up and list your items. Once the offer is live it goes to charities in your area, who can request it. You choose which charity receives it, and we put you in touch. The charity then normally collects. It couldn't be simpler!
For charities
Sign up to be notified about items on offer near you, or browse the live offers. See something you need, make a request with a short note about why. If the business picks your charity, we put you in touch and you arrange collection.
