We were absolutely thrilled to receive these photographs from Janell Selvam at LS Events, who recently donated 14 stacking chairs and a box of hi-vis vests via the platform. Local charities snapped up both of the popular listings on the same day! 🌻 YMCA London City and North, collected the chairs, providing much-needed furniture for residence rooms. 🌻 The Bike Project picked up the hi-vis vests to enhance its safety packs, which it distributes to refugees and people seeking asylum when they receive a repaired bike from the charity. As part of their ongoing commitment to sustainability, LS Events has joined the A Good Thing community, Janell commented: "We’re thrilled to contribute to these incredible initiatives and help make a positive impact where it matters most!" #sharingeconomy #sendlesstolandfill #reducewaste #charitydonation

It's #zerowasteweek. 💚 💛 🌻 The message is loud and clear – we must use our planet's resources better. Sharing unused items with others is quick, easy, and far better than binning or recycling them. With 166,000 charities in the UK, your business can make a real difference by donating forgotten items gathering dust. It's an easy way to start your zero waste journey. There are two ways to get involved this Zero Waste Week via A Good Thing: 🌍 Have a look around the office, see what you have gathering dust in the cupboards, hidden on a shelf, or tucked in a drawer and list it on A Good Thing. 🌍 Check out our list of #charityneeds: https://bit.ly/AGT-Need. Are you holding on to something that a local charity could use? #sendlesstolandfill #supportlocal #reducewaste #getstarted
