Dear members,

A new community has opened for (insert community name and URL).

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:

  • 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

With thanks from the $groupname team.
