The National Tactical Response Group (NTRG), who handle serious incidents in prisons across England and Wales, is seeking old and disused furniture to use in its intensive training.

We have a brand new webinar taking place every month for charities and schools specifically. This is to help the newer charities and schools get used to our new features as well as existing ones to help you become a Warp It pro.

MedAID are a charity on a mission to bridge the gap between surplus medical devices and equipment and the shortage of medical equipment in resource-limited countries.

We want to maximise the reuse of surplus assets.

Part of this is to re-distribute assets to the 3rd sector for reuse in the community.

Another part of this is donating assets to countries abroad who might need those items.

We are starting to explore how we can support charities who are already donating equipment to overseas countries.

Join us on Zoom to explore this issue on Thursday August 13th 2pm BST.

Equipment donations to overseas countries in need may be a very effective form of aid, provided that the items supplied follow international guidelines and are practical for the receiving party.

A vast number of difficulties may arise during the process and this zoom meeting is designed to explore those issues but also to demonstrates what can be achieved by a "where there's a will there's a way" attitude!.

We will start this exploration by hosting a zoom meeting to discuss the issues in the hope of creating a solid process for our customers to donate furniture equipment and supplies to overseas countries who are in need. 

As we return back to and a new (better!) world we need relevant guidance to that furniture equipment and asset reuse can be carried out safely.  This guidance is designed for internal and external reuse including the need to transfer items from the site to members working from home.  

In this article, we are going to give you our safe reuse transfer template.  After discussion with the internal authority on infection control, please use this template to add into the customisable messages on your Warp It system.

Risk assessments will have been carried out for re-opening and measures put in place to minimise the risk of virus transmission- but hopefully by using the custom messages system on Warp It you can further minimise the risk.

Please attend the next Warp It Admin meeting to discuss this issue.
