Request: Server and computer equipment (Frankley B45) Hi If anyone has a working NAS drive it would be greatly appreciated. With discs preferably but if without can always try and buy and ask other members to assist. This equipment will be used to allow me to have more volunteers work on my Freegle groups. It will also be used hopefully to set up a group to help children and senior citizens I am trying to help local people with computer skills or just help making zoom etc account to speak to family members. Will be like a pop up group at different locations depending where it’s needed. This has come about by being asked lots of times to help other residents of my nans retirement home community to help with computer issues. Come from a proud nan “oh my grandson will help you with that he is a wiz on the computer” grandparents!! Thank you for taking the time to read my post and thanks in advance for anyone who can help. Equipment needs to be near to B45, B61 , B31, B29, etc so I can collect as car is not always available so may need to collect on taxi and trying to keep the costs down as I’m self funding this project and not charging anyone for the help given. Just want to give back to local community If anyone has a working NAS drive it would be greatly appreciated. With discs preferably but if without can always try and buy and ask other members to assist. This equipment will be used to allow me to have more volunteers work on my Freegle groups. It will also be used hopefully to set up a group to help children and senior citizens with little or no computer equipment. With a view to helping senior citizens access the Internet to talk to family and friends making less lonely

Request: Apple Watch any version (Frankley B45) Expired I know this is a massive ask and if you’re able to help it would be a massive help and really appreciated. I apologise for the long post but want to be honest please read whole post 1, Have you recently upgraded your Apple Watch? 2, do you have a old or unused Apple watch laying around doing nothing. I had a Apple Watch linked to my phone but unfortunately my watch died while I was washing up (which I have done hundreds of times before) I took my watch to Apple to find out what was wrong with it . They looked at it and informed me it had water corrosive damage. This was caused as the water I was washing up with had too much soap in. Apparently this is a common problem. As my watch was over two years old it was not coved by any warranty. They have Informed me that the cost of repair wouldn’t be worth it as it would be almost as much as a new watch (something I can afford at ‘I’m) I need the watch as I use it as a reminder to take important medication and it holds my medical and next of kin and other important information it also lets my next of kin track me incase I have a fit and or memory breakdown. As I’m unable to drive at the moment (medical issues) it would really help if you was close to ten miles of B45 (Rubery) Many Thanks Enjoy the rest of your day and hope you have a relaxing weekend.
