Request: Spare Gloves, Coats or Kettles? (Clerkenwell EC1R) Spare Gloves, Coats or Kettles? We’re Warming Up for the New Term Hello lovely Freeglers! Autumn’s here, the leaves are falling, and students are heading back to class. We’re gearing up for the new term at our learning/education charity, and we’re hoping to keep everyone warm, cosy, and caffeinated with a little community help. We’re looking for: Thermal gloves (ideally waterproof) Winter coat (women’s size 10–12 / M, male size M or L) Beanie or woolly hat Black boots flat heel (women’s size 5 or 6 (knee or thigh high welcome), men size 9 - 11) Milk-making machine or travel kettle (to keep the brews flowing) We love upcycling, recycling, and giving things a new home — it’s better for the planet, and it keeps useful items doing what they were made to do. If you’ve got any of these tucked away at the back of a cupboard, we’d be thrilled to give them a second life. Happy to collect at a time that suits you — and promise they’ll be well-loved and put to good use this term 🌍💚

Request: Milk Maker Machine (Clerkenwell EC1R) Received We are Looking for a plant-based milk maker (Joydeem / Bovoey / ChefWave or similar) We’re expanding our student Food Club this autumn and looking for a milk maker to help us prepare fresh oat, soy, and nut milks anywhere. 🌱 Why? Making your own plant-based milk is more sustainable, more nutritious, and helps us innovate new food systems in planet friendly ways that support students to learn well. If you have a milk maker gathering dust at home — or would like to support our project — you’ll be helping shape the future of food and education while keeping students warm, hydrated, and nourished this term. Message me if you can help!

Request: Jogging pram (Clerkenwell EC1R) Received Give Your Jogging Pram a Second Life — Help Build Sustainable Transport & Support Students! Hey community! Do you have a jogging pram gathering dust because your little one has outgrown it? That sturdy, reliable pram could be exactly what we need to power something bigger than any one of us alone. We’re building a planet-friendly, innovative transport system to help collect and share surplus food and essential support with university students striving for quality education (SDG 4). These students need reliable ways to move goods sustainably — and your unused jogging pram could be a vital part of this solution. Jogging prams are tough, durable, and built to last — often outlasting their original owners’ needs. Instead of letting them sit idle, let’s repurpose these high-performance tools for a community with a mission to accelerate access to education and reduce food waste. If you’ve got a jogging pram that’s ready for a new lease on life and want to be part of a movement that’s bigger than any one of us, please reach out! Together, we can build a future that moves smarter, greener, and kinder. Thank you for helping us pedal towards change!
