Free: Bottle caps for crafting etc (Roche PL26) Can anyone use these bottle caps? I had a big craft idea but it will never happen now. Spent too long collecting them to just throw them away. Located in Roche.

Free: Raleigh Pioneer Classic bike (Roche PL26) Gifted Because of the story behind this bike and the fact I want to see it used I'm willing to give this bike away for FREE to someone who it will help. The bike is an old Raleigh Pioneer Classic. It's a 12 speed bike with an XL frame (suitable for people over 5ft10). Whether it be to get to work or for someone to enjoy rides with the kids, I'm happy to let it go for free if it will be used. Originally this bike was given to me to help me raise money for my fundraising. I've done a fair bit of work on it and spent money on it to get it back up and running so now it's in good working order, I just don't want to see it sat doing nothing as it seems nobody likes the old bikes like I do. I want this bike to go to someone who will use it, NOT to someone looking to make money out of it. There's a story behind it and because of that I promised it would go to a good home. It's located in Roche.

Request: Christmas decorations/tinsel (Roche PL26) Hi. If anyone has any unwanted tinsel or Christmas decorations it would be greatly appreciated. I'm doing a charity event in just over a week and want to decorate my car for the event (it's to raise money and awareness for the St Austell food bank). Absolutely anything would be appreciated. Thank you.

Request: broken items to fix up and job lots (Roche PL26) Withdrawn If you're having a clearout or have something broken that might be fixable these items could really help me. I'm going to be honest, I'm planning to do a Banger Rally Challenge next year because we did one in 2024 and it really helped with my confidence issues and feeling accepted. As well as that I'm going to be doing several other challenges throughout 2026 with my ultimate goal to raise over £2000 for charity (Cornwall Hospice Care as they cared for a family member). I need a bit of help to make these events possible so I've been doing anything I can to raise the money I need for it. If you have anything that was going to be thrown away, but could probably be fixed, I'd love to try and make something out of it to help make these events possible. I'm not after good things, just broken and unwanted items that I can fix to help with the costs. I'll try anything if it's something I'm capable of. Thank you.

Request: small toys or items to make mystery boxes (Roche PL26) Withdrawn Hi. If anyone is having a clearout and has any small toys or small items that could make little mystery boxes they would really be appreciated. I'm trying to raise money so I can enter a charity event and hoping I can make several little mystery boxes that I can sell to help towards the target. I'll consider anything really as it's a goal I refuse to give up on (life's too short to have regrets). Thank you.

Request: colourful soft toys (Roche PL26) Withdrawn Hi. If anyone has any old colourful (multicoloured like the picture if possible) soft toys they would be greatly appreciated.

Request: Scrap/broken bicycles (Roche PL26) Expired Hi. If you have an old bike that's heading for the great scrapyard in the sky it could be a huge help to me. I'm looking for bikes for parts to help me build my project bikes. Bikes are my life and have helped me through my most difficult times so I'm trying to build a collection of bikes that will help me to achieve my cycling dreams. Please don't be offended if I don't take your bike. I only want to take bikes I know I can use myself. Thank you

Request: Camping chair (Roche PL26) Expired Hi all. Just wondering if anyone has a spare unwanted folding camping chair. I'm doing a 24 hour mountain bike race for charity in a few weeks and have to camp for the weekend. I have pretty much everything else (I think... I guarantee there'll be something I forget 😂) but not a camping chair so if anyone did have a spare one it would be really appreciated just so I have somewhere to sit and eat in between riding. I only need one as it's me on my own doing this. Thank you.

Request: children's bikes (Roche PL26) Received As you know I've been fixing bikes up to get me through a rough time, help with my fundraising... well basically survive. At the moment I'm desperately trying to raise a bit of money to replace my car so I can get to work as my car is dead. I'm only looking for children's bikes as that's all I can fit in my car at the moment due to having to use my, slightly less broken, charity car this week which is a saloon(it's decorated to use for charity events and last year we raised £1200 for Cornwall Hospice Care with it). Does anyone have anything that I might be able to fix up to help towards this? I live in Roche but work at Camel Creek so can collect from Wadebridge area after work. Thank you.

Request: large dustbin or similar (Roche PL26) Expired Does anyone have a large dustbin or anything similar they no longer need? I'm just looking for something to put the not so good spare bike parts in (literally a parts bin) so doesn't matter if it's damaged or missing a lid or anything like that. Really don't care what it is to be honest, plastic, metal anything really. Roche and surrounding areas please. Thank you.

Request: scrap/broken bikes (Roche PL26) Expired Hi. I'm looking for scrap/broken bikes. Please note I'm only looking for bikes I can use myself, either to rebuild my current bikes, build for a memorial event in April or that I can collect myself. I'm done trying to use bikes to pay the bills as it's just never ending timewasters and scammers (I've lost faith in people) but building bikes gives me a purpose in between rides so I'll never give up working on them.

Request: pokemon cards - even damaged (or anything pikachu) (Roche PL26) Expired Long story short, I'm struggling to afford Christmas presents this year so I'm trying to make things. I want to at least be able to give something. A family member is doing a charity event next year with a Pokemon theme so I want to make a little collage or something with old Pokemon cards. I'm not interested in rares or anything like that. I don't want anything to make money I just want to make something for them as a Christmas present. In truth I would love a Pikachu card as they're dressing up as Pikachu but I'll be happy with anything just to make something for them. Even if damaged. Even if I could just get that one card I'd be happy. Thank you.

Request: old tatty tinsel, baubles etc (not good stuff) (Roche PL26) Expired If you have any old tinsel that's not good enough for indoors any more or any old baubles that were going to be thrown out I would greatly appreciate them. To put it simply, we can't afford to put Christmas lights up this year but it's been such a horrible year I want to at least do something. So I'm going to use one of my scrap bikes in the front garden and decorate it. Something a bit fun to try and cheer myself (and hopefully others) up. I'm in Roche but can collect from St Austell and Bodmin areas if anyone did have anything. I don't want anything good as feel guilty about it getting ruined outside. Thank you.

Request: vhs video tapes (Roche PL26) Received If anyone has any old VHS video tapes I really want to try something with them. I'd prefer old ones that don't work any more so I don't feel guilty about ruining them. Thank you.

Request: broken and unwanted bikes (Roche PL26) Expired Hi. I'm looking for broken and unwanted bikes in St Austell and the clays areas. I've been fixing bikes to help me through a difficult time and... well I'm desperate now. I need to raise £150 in the next week to keep a roof over our head (can't even afford to put the heater on) as I've been turned down by so many jobs and I've lost all confidence now. I just need to raise that £150 to get me through this month at least and this is all I know as cycling is my life and the reason I'm still here. If anyone can help please message me. I would appreciate absolutely anything now. Thank you

Request: childrens toys, cars, books etc for charity (Roche PL26) Received Hi. To cut a long story I had planned a fundraiser for a local charity next year. Due to the events of this year I can no longer do that but I don't want them to suffer so I'm trying to do a little something fun for Christmas to raise a bit of money for them at least. I'm looking for unwanted toys, children's books, soft toys, anything that I can use to make up 25 lucky dip boxes with a variety of items in each. It means I can reuse good condition things to save them being thrown away and the charity benefits from it as well. I'm raising money for The Invictus Trust. They are a small charity who help young people with mental health struggles. As someone who suffers from mental health problems myself I've used my cycling to raise money for them for a few years now and really want to make sure they get something. Plus it gives me a purpose I really need that right now. If anyone has anything that could help it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Request: small boxes (Roche PL26) Received Hi. Can anyone please help? Due to not being able to do my fundraising next year (thanks to the people who scammed me out of my savings) I'm trying to do a little something to raise a bit of money for a local charity, The Invictus Trust, to raise at least £100 for them for Christmas. I'm in need of 25 small boxes if anyone can help at all. Also if anyone is having a clear out and has any unwanted toys they would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
