Allotment group revamps its clubhouse with reused furniture

Warp It Admins have expressed an interest in having more control of user behaviour.

In this case we had a request from Sussex Community NHS Trust to get agreements from members when they were adding or claiming certain categories because these categories were associated with specific risks. 

We have had similar requests in the past so we looked into it further.

There maybe certain risks around electricals, ward equipment and even some types of furniture and members need to know about these risks or agree to statements around these risks.

This is such an easy win but so effective!!

The Warp It reuse system is a network whereby schools can access free corporate assets like stationery,  chairs, desks, cabinets, sports equipment etc. There is no charge to join and the surplus assets are free, too. Please register here to start to access free corporate assets in your area. 

We have just introduced free access for all charities and schools!

We used to charge £50 for schools for the year but we have dropped this to remove the financial barrier and give schools free access.

This move was inspired by news articles like this and also hearing the same sort of story locally where we live.

We see surplus stationery and educational equipment everyday on a massive scale so we think making this move is actually a duty of ours to take advantage of the power of our network.

We have big news for Warp It members who are looking to donate assets into their local community, who really want to boost their CSR, and would like to help those who need and want it.

Right now, schools really need help.

They’re struggling.

Schools need stationery, they need chairs for pupils, they need sports equipment, and they need desks of all sizes.

One of the easiest ways to engage people in your reuse program is to actually get people on Warp It and looking around. If they don’t get as far as the portal, something might be wrong.

In this article we are going to share a couple of tips from Warp It member Alexander Ford, from Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust.

Flat screen TVs are not only good for watching THE WORLD CUP they’re also a very useful tool for engaging people in whatever message you want to get out.

Within your organisational estate you probably have flat screen TVs in the foyer, in the lift areas etc. These can be a great tool to get your message out.

They’re an important part of our lives, screens. Just think how many are in your home, your office and every building you enter. It’s hard to not look at them when you’re passing by, right?

This article is all about a problem.

The problem is how to maximise the opportunity that building decommissions, or decants, present, especially when it comes to the reuse of surplus assets.

The challenge is that there are so many critical, and often conflicting deadlines, that the reuse of surplus assets is often left to the last minute. By this time, it is usually too late to find new owners for those assets!

Linking up with charities to make donations should be easy, right?

Well, before Warp It, it wasn’t. It was a lot of effort, with a lot of back and forth dialogue and loads of legal mishmash.
