			Appeal for social media savvy Freeglers!


			We want to say a big THANK YOU for being a part of the Freegle movement - we couldn't do it without you!

			There is certainly strength in numbers, so we want to spread the word about Freegle to as many people as possible. Too many people are still just throwing things away that someone round the corner might love.

			Our lovely volunteers are the lifeline of our charity, and keep Freegle going all over the country, helping us to help our planet (and each other). We are currently in need of people to help us promote Freegle groups on social media. If you are interested in what we do and you know your tweets from your posts, we would love to have your help. Whether it's every day or once a week, we would really appreciate having you on board to help share the Freegle love. Although it would be voluntary, you will receive our eternal gratitude and you might just meet a lovely bunch of people (if we do say so ourselves).

			If you think you might want to get involved, or you just fancy a chat, get in touch with us on:

			Happy Freegling!
