This means you can donate items to them easily and quickly. Not only will it help you, but the school benefits by receiving furniture, equipment, and other items that they need to operate smoothly without having to dip into their limited funding.  In particular, schools need stationery, desks, chairs, whiteboards, and sports equipment. These kind of items are normally hidden away, unused on a massive scale, so this feature is a perfect way to get them back into circulation and used. Using Warp It, you can link up and make connections with local schools, and add them to your priority two or three distribution lists. This means if your staff don't want any of your items they can be advertised further afield. ([See here for explanation).](https://blog.warp-it.co.uk/new-feature-share-days) Here's a guide on how to use this feature. - Log in as admin. - Go to ‘Build networks’.

This is good and it reduces your workplace’s waste liability. 2) You’re building amazing relationships in the community.
