Making Reuse Mainstream

Our aim is to make reuse mainstream and give you the tools and tips to help you do that in your organisation.

To help with that we are delivering regular regional workshops. See here.

I was going to write a blog post about why you should come to the workshops but then i thought i would widen the scope and give you reasons to go to any relevant event or workshop.

On occasion, a third party such as another organisation, school, or charity, may make a claim and then don't collect the goods. 

When items are left unused, but you want to keep hold of them in the longer-term, you may wish to loan them out.

Did you know schools can use Warp It for free? This means you can donate items to them easily and quickly.

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.

When there are large numbers of items ready to reuse on Warp it, you may want to alter the viewing options. 

We're always taking feedback into account to make the Warp It system even better. 

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.

The purpose of this blog post is to help existing customers increase their charity donation capacity in the local area.

As you may know, a large part of Warp It is designed to facilitate the passage of surplus corporate assets into the charity sector, and so far we have helped our customers donate over £2m worth of assets.
