Request: Silvery bubble insulation rolls (Golden Triangle NR2) Received - Hi, I'm looking for bubble wrap type rolls with the silvery backing like the ones in the photo. (Not the silvery foam insulation, as that is not weather proof). I was gifted a bee-hive a few months ago and I'm learning how to take care of them. I'd like to be able to make a wrap for the hive to keep them insulated through the winter as so many bee colonies were lost last winter through the cold snap. Thank you

Request: Squeezy bottles for NR2 Food Bank (Golden Triangle NR2) Expired - Used washing up liquid bottles and used soap dispensing bottles are very useful please. We have been donated large tubs of liquid soap, laundry detergent & conditioner, washing up liquid etc, and as we have many customers who benefit from these products we decant them into smaller bottles. Thank you. NR2 Food Bank is located at the rear of Adat Yeshua Messianic Synagogue, Essex Street, Norwich, NR2 2BL. We would appreciate bottles being dropped off during our opening hours, on Thursdays between 10am - 1pm if possible. Thank you for your support in helping us feed and look after the Norwich community. To contact the food bank, please email foodbank@adatyeshua.co.uk or phone/text 07508 183155 and leave a message (please include your mobile phone number in your message). Request: concrete slabs and sand (Costessey NR8) Expired - We have to take up an outdoor wooden floor which is rotting and need slabs to go in its place please. Any amount is considered as it's a large area, but I can't drive too far from NR8 - NR1, as fuel is limited financially too. Also if anyone has some sand left over from a project, that would help enormously to bed the slabs down. Thank you so much. Free: Fence panel wood to burn (Costessey NR8) Expired - Would be great for bon-fire night or log burners or camping fires. There are seven 6ft x 5ft panels, which are neatly broken up and put in bundles so easy to carry and transport. Request: Brood chamber for National hive (Golden Triangle NR2) Expired - I'm thinking of doubling up the brood chamber in my hive, as the BC seems to be too full. I cannot take any frames out because they have welded them all together with propolice. So my thinking is to try to move them up to another BC then take the original away. Thanks Free: Cat harness & bicycle helmet (Costessey NR8) Expired - 1. Bike helmet with music inlet, 2. kitten harness with pink bow tie, 3. cat harness.

Request: NR2 food bank needs carrier bags, plastic bottles & gloves (Golden Triangle NR2) Expired - Carrier bags really make a huge difference for our customers and our volunteers who are packing for deliveries. We also are in need of blue latex type gloves for decanting foods, and smaller plastic bottles to decant washing-up liquid and liquid soap and laundry detergent liquid into please. We'd be so grateful for any carrier bags, plastic bottles and unused blue gloves as the emergency food bank runs entirely on donations and volunteers for everything to help those who are in desperate need. If you find yourself with a few tins / packets of extra food, we'd also love to distribute those also. The NR2 food bank is in the back of Adat Yeshua Messianic Synagogue, Essex Street, NR2 2BL and we open on Thursdays 10am - 1pm. Request: sample pots of paint (Costessey NR8) Received - I'd love to make use of unwanted / unused sample pots of paint you may have laying around please.

Request: Wooden fruit bowls (Costessey NR8) Expired - I'm attempting a project, and am searching for any wooden / bamboo fruit bowls. I don't mind the condition or colour, and I'm needing 3 of them. Thank you all Request: Sofa savers (Costessey NR8) Expired - My sofa is sinking to the floor. To have sofa savers to put under the cushions would be great. Thank you Request: Shelving for food bank (Golden Triangle NR2) Received - The NR2 food bank has a bit more room to put another couple of metal shelving units (like the one in the picture) for all the food that people need each week. As you can probably imagine funds are being stretched as much as possible. If you have shelving in your garage that you no longer need, it would be amazing and put to good use for the community. Thank you so much.

Request: Piano hinges (Costessey NR8) Expired - I'm hoping to make the back of our car into a camper. I need piano hinges to allow the platform of the bed to fold so it fits into the boot. Thank you Free: Sofa feet, metal, silver coloured, elephant feet (Costessey NR8) Gifted - These feet were taken off our sofas (as they are not high enough for me so we swapped them out for higher feet). They are heavy duty metal, suitable to put on the corners of any furniture to lift it off the ground.

Request: wadding/padding for sewing project (Costessey NR8) Received - Does anyone happen to have some wadding left over from a project at all please? I want to sew some seat belt covers for the car as they cut into my neck on long journeys. Thanks Free: Loft Insulation rolls (Costessey NR8) Gifted - I have several rolls of secondhand but good condition loft insulation left after a project. I got these from Freegle and so want to re-gift what is left over. Request: blow up air bed (Costessey NR8) Received - My hubby and I want to have a little break away, and are thinking of camping as we don't have much money. So we're hoping someone is no longer needing their air bed/blow up mattress. I'm not so bothered about cosmetic condition as long as it stays inflated for one night. Thank you Request: A students desk and chair (Costessey NR8) Expired - For a dear friend's child who is almost 13 years old. About 2 years ago we got her a small desk and small chair from a free site, and it has lasted her this long, being in a tiny room sharing with her little brother, the furniture is now not fit for anyone. This upcoming young lady is a very intelligent/academic sort. The whole family are now moving and she will be getting her own room, where she will be able to have a proper sized desk and even "maybe a chair with a head rest!" (her own words). I would love to make this happen for her as her whole family have been through so much ill health and challenges since moving to Norwich, please can anyone help? Thank you for reading x Request: Thermal door curtain (Costessey NR8) Expired - Hoping a door curtain will stop some of the cold coming in this winter. Thank you Request: A Sideboard with drawers and cupboard space (Costessey NR8) Expired - I realise this is a huge ask, especially on a free site... I'm getting so bogged in without proper storage in my home, I'd love to be able to make more space by organising things into a reasonable sized sideboard. I'm not bothered on the colour, or chips and scrapes as I can slap a coat of paint on it if needed, as long as it's fairly solid and I can fit my hubby's TV on top for his gaming (insert eye roll here). Something similar to the pics I got from mister google would be amazing. Thank you all so much xx

Thanks Request: Body Warmer size 18/20 (Costessey NR8) Expired - I'm feeling the cold more as I'm getting older - does anyone have a body warmer they no longer need please, in a plus size 18 or 20?

Thank you Request: 2x4's, Marine ply, and roofing felt (Costessey NR8) Expired - I'm trying to rebuild my porchway as the roof has basically "melted away" through water damage since it was bodged. I need: *1 and a half sheets of 18mm marine ply , but I'd be grateful for anything. *8 lengths of 2x4's at 2.4m length - again, I would be grateful for 1 or 2 reclaimed wood from different people *1 roll of granulated roof felt *1 roll of underlay roof felt Thank you so much Request: Left over Spray paint any colours (Costessey NR8) Expired - Any half used cans of spray paint please, I'd like to brighten up the garden furniture. Thanks Request: Down pipes (Costessey NR8) Expired - This idea is pinched from another freegler. I'm looking for guttering down pipes to put holes in then, bury them standing up in my potato crop so they will be watered from the root and water won't evaporate from the surface. Ideally I'd like them to be around 4 foot in length. Thank you for taking the time to read.
