Allotment group revamps its clubhouse with reused furniture

In an effort to help protect frontline NHS workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve launched an online marketplace for businesses to donate vital equipment and supplies.

Any business can upload their surplus PPE or equipment and we will make sure it gets into the NHS or other frontline services like social care and pharmacies. 

If you need help to donate more assets into schools and charities then Ben can help you!

Ben Lynch is the Partnership Manager at Warp It. In his role, he is responsible for facilitating the safe and smooth passage of reusable assets from our valued customers to our partners in the charity and school sectors.

We’ve grabbed Ben for a quick interview so that you can learn more about what is going on behind the scenes.

If you want to plant some trees then this is for you.....

Extending the lifespan of products by reuse and repair reduces manufacturing and transport and thus avoids carbon emissions.

We track carbon savings on our system and express this as the theoretical "number of trees planted" equivalent.

We would actually like to express this more visibly and actually plant the number of trees in real life! 

In this article we make a proposal to plant trees with our customers and their community. 

We are seeking partners to take part in a tree planting project where we actually plant the number of trees equivalent to the carbon your organisation has saved by reusing items on Warp It.

We have been absolutely stunned, amazed, and inspired by the Schools 4 Climate Action movement that has been started by young environmental activist Greta Thunberg. As we share her strong values, we are deeply affected by the movement and wish to offer our support and encouragement to students who wish to participate.

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.

Leeds Teaching Hospital are one of our customers. Every Wednesday their porters pick up any surplus furniture and transfer it to a new home using our system.

Dear Warp It members who are part of the NHS, this post and download have been made especially with you in mind.

Recently we revealed that we were in the process of asking our community to help us design some amazing visual stimuli for laboratory or science facilities to boost reuse.

There are four main goals of these materials
