Council Newsletters
From Freegle Wiki
Freegle sends a regular newsletter to UK councils, called Freegle Bites. You can browse the full archive at https://us20.campaign-archive.com/home/?u=dd0a44d9aa3f6ba0e4d439318&id=8edc47538e
In December 2025, Freegle Bites went out to two-thirds of UK councils, with hundreds of individuals receiving it.
