Been a member of the Kendal branch for 8 months . Aswell as the CRT monitors I've just got a 20"tv for a disabled friend , a Cane room divider and I've just given a set of wide green braces to a member who posted a want add (hes gonna be a Father Christmas for disabled kids) . Ive had 2 e-mails from the organisers and the only other e-mails I've had have been in reply to ones I've sent .
The idea is you join , look on the local branch site , if you see something you need you contact the person offering . If you want to offer something you put up a post and away you go .
It saves sending usable items to the landfill or scrapyard .
Locally people have offered working pc's , including a luverly Apple Mac (I missed that one ), laptops , movie cameras, hi-fis, fridges, washing machines, and all sorts of wierd and wonderful stuff.
