Request: Caravan (Mapperly NG3) Hi everyone My good friend lives in a ancient caravan with old glass windows, no proper electrics & no gas so no cooker, fridge or heat. No lights or ability to charge his phone. The front window was broken, then recently some kids put bricks through 2 others. It's barely fit for purpose, the damp and cold issues during the winter were deadly and started to affect his health. At the moment it's habitable because it's been dry. Winter is a different story. If anyone can help him and has or sees a caravan been given away in the Nottingham or surrounding area, could you drop me a message please. It's doesn't need to be anything special, just dry and modern enough that it has bubble windows. Doesn't need to be a particularly good tow, won't be moving about much, if at all. Ideally I want to find him something before the end of summer and the weather turns wet. Obviously, sooner the better. Any help will be fantastic and well appreciated and would really be helping someone out. Thanks In Advance

Request: Caravan (Mapperly NG3) Hi everyone My good friend lives in a caravan that I acquired for him when he was suddenly made homeless. His landlord kicked everyone out so he could rent them out for more money. The caravan is ancient with old glass windows, no proper electrics & no gas as it's unsafe, so no cooker, fridge or heat. No lights or ability to charge his phone. The front window was broken, then recently some kids put bricks through 2 others. It's barely fit for purpose, the damp and cold issues during the winter were deadly and started to affect his health. It really wasn't nice for him during the winter, but it was better than sofa surfing and sleeping outdoors in a tent. At the moment it's habitable because it's been dry. If anyone can help him and has or sees a caravan been given away in the Nottingham or surrounding area, could you drop me a message please. It's doesn't need to be anything special, just dry and modern enough that it has bubble windows. Doesn't need to be a particularly good tow, won't be moving about much, if at all. Ideally I want to find him something before the end of summer and the weather turns wet. Obviously, sooner the better. Any help will be fantastic and well appreciated and would really be helping someone out. Thanks In Advance

It's for a 3 going on 4 year old girl. If I could find a musical jewellery box, that would be fantastic, even better if it was some kind of silver / plated silver to keep with tradition, but anything suitable would be amazing and really appreciated. Thanks In Advance

Request: Bosch strimmer spool - Easytrim/Art (Sherwood NG5) Expired Ayup everyone, I know it's a long shot but would anyone have a spare strimmer spool for a BOSCH STRIMMER please, Model - ART 23/26 Easytrim (Pro Tap Spool) I'm in the middle of sorting my friends garden for her and her daughter so they can use and enjoy it. It's hugely overgrown (hasn't been touched since last year?) so the strimmer is essential as the grass is 3-4ft long in places, unfortunately, a bit of plastic has snapped off the spool so it flies off the strimmer almost straight away. THANKS IN ADVANCE

Request: Manhole Cover 18"x24" / 46x63cm (Sherwood NG5) Expired Hi would anyone have a spare Manhole /Drain Cover please. Rectangular 18x24 inch /46x63cm which is a standard size for rectangular manhole covers. The one in the pictures is located at the bottom of the steps leading to my friends front door, her and her daughter have to cross it daily. As seen, it has a big hole and a crack all the way through. It's very loose and Quite dangerous. Looks like someone could go through if stepped on the wrong bit. Trying to find a replacement for them before someone has an accident. Currently it's a cast iron cover, but any material type would be appreciated. Thanks In Advance
