Request: Duplo base plate for SEN classroom (North Colchester, CO4) My partner teaches kids with special needs, and the SEN classroom has Duplo for them to play and learn with, but it doesn't have any bases for the Duplo to stand on (which is an issue due to reduced hand-eye coordination). Because they don't have any budget to purchase them, he asked me to see if anyone had any their kids have grown out of using or were otherwise lying around. I believe Lego baseplates are also compatible so these would also be appreciated Of course, happy to collect. Thank you for reading.

Request: Any aquarium equipment (North Colchester, CO4) Withdrawn Hi folks, my little ones want to keep a tank of aquatic creatures (at least it's not a cat/dog/ferret/bird right 😅) but it's something we're starting from scratch on. I often see various bits of aquarium equipment on here, and I also know it can be verrrrry expensive buying everything first hand. So- do you have any old aquarium equipment lying around in your garage that hasn't been touched in years? (Even if it's old, or something random like aquarium gravel, anything would help!) I'd love to give it a second life if so. It's half term so can be really flexible with collection times. Thank you so much for reading!

Free: Double duvet (North Colchester, CO4) Gifted Giving away a black, 4.5 tog double, summer duvet I bought on Amazon for £26 last year. It was used for about 6 months (then I got a weighted blanket), and has sat in a cupboard since. Excellent condition, just want it to stay out of the landfill as duvets can't be donated to charity shops, and get it out of my hair.

Request: Short + thin curtain poles (North Colchester, CO4) Expired Hi folks, I am trying to organise my other half's keyring collection and I saw this wonderful idea online to put them on curtain poles and on the wall - but I can't find the kind of thing I'd need online! Does anyone have that kind of thing that they wouldn't miss? Thank you :)

Request: old terrarium (Felixtowe) Expired Hi all, my boy wants to keep a pet snail. Sigh. He found one and brought it home, and it is currently in a tupperware box. It really needs a proper enclosure, but the kind of thing we need is crazy expensive, especially for a garden pest. Examples of ideal tanks are reptile enclosure, closed up fish tank, insect box, that kind of thing. We would really appreciate it
