Shortlinks are short URLs which redirect to a longer URL. They are used to make it easier to remember or type web addresses. URL shortening services emerged several years ago with tinyurl.com. Nowadays other sites such as bit.ly are more popular.

Freegle Shortlinks

A URL shortlinking service has been setup for Freegle using the domains freegle.in and freegle.it / frgl.it.

  • Externally to Freegle they are especially useful when print publishing the address for a local group.
  • Internally within Freegle they provide convenient access to commonly used pages, such as Freegle UK Central or our Who's Who spreadsheet.

There are shortlinks to all of the main freegle moderators groups.
