A Good Thing: Donate Unwanted Goods to Charity
A Good Thing lets businesses donate items to small charities via an app, rather them languishing in offices or going to landfill. From office furniture to laptops, you can even donate meeting room space.
A dispenser was sitting unused in a dental surgery. It ended up donated to a omeless shelter, to sanitise rooms for residents. It would have cost £1600, was they got it for free!
Obviously there are safety caveats in place (like not donating faulty electrical goods – usually sofas and mattresses must be new for safety and fire tags). Electrical goods must also be PAT-tested for safety.
But many small charities often need what you may have laying around:
- Old crockery and cutlery
- Used safe furniture
- Old iphones
- Office chairs and furniture
The site has charities with wish lists, plus as a business, you can list what you have that someone else could use.
