In 2020 the Cornavirus virus outbreak caused Freegle to have to close down or partly fully moderate the website for selected periods. Here are some links and information relating to those decisions and actions.

March 2020

The website was closed on 23rd March 2020 to comply with the lockdown restrictions and reopened on 17th May 2020 in line with English waste disposal sites reopening. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland communities opened when their waste disposal sites reopened.

April 2020

Email to Volunteers 11th April 2020

Hello everyone, this is a 'keeping in contact' email to you all.
Update on freegling: We are still closed for business to members, other than chitchat and encouragement to post pending offers. It is looking very likely that we won’t have the restrictions on travel lifted after this three week period, but as soon as there is a change the website will be opened again (perhaps in different areas, depending on the restrictions).
Update on us: The new version of ModTools has been released, and small glitches are being ironed out. Do have a look, let us know on Tech if you see anything amiss. The new IOS app is now available and an Android one will be out soon.
There is continuing discussion and questions on various groups on Discourse, and of course our Cafe is available for a chat about anything at all. Why not post a message there to let the rest of us know how you are getting on and share some stories and comments? Click here to join in.
As you can see, we have a nice new map to show where all the present active volunteers are - which is heartening as we are going still strong here and it’s great that we are all pulling together to get through this horrible time personally and for each other.
