A Good Thing
A Good Thing matches wonderful UK charities with businesses that have things to donate: helping charities while providing businesses with an ethical means of disposing of unwanted goods. All sorts of weird and wonderful items have been saved from landfill and donated to charities right across the country, from T-shirts, ladders, paint, and stationery to bamboo poles, laptops, floor tiles, and bricks.
The Men’s Shed in Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire, was matched via ‘A Good Thing’ with a computer desk from a nearby business that was closing down. There are hundreds of other items being donated right across the country that could be useful to Men’s Sheds. It takes just 30 seconds for a charitable organisation to create a free account at www.agoodthing.org.uk/signup. You’ll begin receiving email alerts straightaway about the items that are available nearby. This service is only open to Sheds with charitable status.
