Hi,
We ask that members use their home community first when offering or requesting items.
Using your home community first has personal, collective, community and environmental benefits. It:
- Reduces competition for items
- Reduces no-shows
- Saves money, by reducing the amount of travel members need to do to give and receive items
- Reduces abuse of the system, since a smaller community is less anonymous - members get to know each other better, which leads to fewer bad behaviours
- Makes Freegle more accessible if you don't have transport
- Means bulky items may be collectable on foot if they're only a few streets away
- Reduces the number of messages per community
- Increases good neighbourliness and local community spirit
- Reduces the environmental impact of the distance travelled
Thank you to everyone who already chooses their local Freegle community first - we appreciate your support.
With thanks from the $groupname team.
