Surplus NHS supplies find new life helping those in need

We love hearing from our valued members, especially when we hear feedback like this:

‘Hey Warp It! We’ve managed to get Warp It to run itself. The staff own it and run it between themselves’.

 

What a great position to be in, right?

A workshop is one of the most fun, intriguing, ambitious, and useful ideas for getting your main stakeholders to buy into your new idea, proposal, or project.

The only difference is, the solution is not yours, it belongs to everybody.

Here’s the big question about Porters:

Do your porters ever complain that one day they’re making a disposal, say chairs for example. Then the next they’re making a delivery of NEW chairs to a different part of the estate? If the answer's yes, you need to read on.

I make mistakes every single day.

Sometimes I make the same mistake again and again, even on the same day, which is annoying. But, I seem to be adept at reviewing my behaviour and my actions and finding a way to correct course.

Save time, get our templates!

This page links to all of the templates that you will need to publicise and embed your furniture and equipment reuse program in a smooth and efficient way.

The purpose of each template is to save you time. We created templates that we think will fit  specific scenarios - you just need to drop in your own details and customisations. 

If you feel your furniture reuse system is not embedded well into your organisational culture, you really need to be communicating to your members as often as you think is relevant via, as many channels as you can.

We recommend when you are launching that you should communicate at least once every 3 months.
