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.

Time, time, time...

When managing a large building clearance, it can often be resource intensive to catalogue exact details and upload a picture of every single asset.

We are pleased to welcome not just one, but two Warp It pioneers for this in depth interview.

Paul Nelson works as the Environmental Sustainability Manager at North Tyneside Council, with Laura Manley assisting him in her role on the Environmental Sustainability Team.

One part of your tool kit for culture change should be emails.

In this article you will find links to all of our email templates for use within your organisation, in order to help embed reuse. 

Changing culture is hard! Really hard! Before setting off you should develop a communication plan with your comms team. 

As part of the communication plan you should develop regular communications, especially in the first 12-18 months of embedding your reuse system into common practice.

This collection of templates will help you to promote your furniture reuse program across your organisation. 

Please note: The 6 downloads in the subheadings are different templates to those provided in the free download at the end of this piece.

Welcome! We want to talk to you about making cultural change in large organisations, and to do so we must discuss one particular technique that is used globally, but is seldom followed in organisations.

What’s the technique?

The technique is to use social media and word of mouth influence to help you get your message out and do your job for you, even while you sleep. We’ll use the example of a reuse programme, but this could apply to any kind of culture change in procurement, facilities, energy management, or the whole organisation.

In part two of this series we are going to talk about the first of our four case studies (part one).

I’m Daniel, Head of Customer Happiness at Warp It, and I’m the narrator of this article. What I encourage you to do, before or after reading this article, is to watch the video of the people from these organisations talking about how the system works in their city. These videos are between 3 & 5 minutes long.

Membership Charities & Community Voluntary Services (CVS) across the land are discovering they can join Warp It and give their members access to millions of pounds worth of free corporate assets.

Welcome wonderful representatives from memberships groups and CVS's, take a look at some of the perks your FREE Warp It membership offer, and download our instructions on how to take advantage of this service and add great value to your members.

What is in it for membership groups and CVS's?

• Get free access to corporate assets like furniture, stationery and equipment for your members
• Provide your membership with even better value from your CVS service!

How do  membership groups CVS's get involved?

Quite simply the membership group or CVS sets up a portal on Warp It (we show you how below) and then invites their members to join (we give you a template). Your  members then get free access to surplus corporate assets. 

The membership group or CVS can than add their own logo to their portal to sow their leadership and value to their members. 

Welcome! This article is all about the reuse of surplus assets within and between the University Sector in the UK.
