Request: 10′′ rubber tyre sleeves (King's Cross N1C) Looking for: 10′′ rubber or EVA tyre sleeves (not full wheels) — these slip over hard plastic wheels like our EasyLife trolley uses. Also known as Stroller Tire Cover, Tubeless Tyre Stroller Wheel Casing or Outer Cover for Stroller Wheels. They’re reversible covers for stroller/trolley wheel rims, offering cushioning and protection. Any brand OK. If anyone has spare rubber sleeves or knows where to get them (new or used), please let us know! We are happy to collect and grateful for any help, as it helps keep our mobility aid for our volunteer smoother and safer. Many thanks 💛

Request: AC Laptop power bank (King's Cross N1) Looking for a Battery Pack Donation — Support Our Community Project! We are progressing a community project to provide food aid and education support to London’s students and young people — and we need a bit of help. We have a small mobile pod we use as a temporary office, but we need a high-capacity battery pack or AC laptop power bank to keep a laptop powered during the day. ✅ If you or your company have a spare laptop power bank you’d be willing to donate, please get in touch. ✅ Anything that can power a small laptop for 3–4 hours would be a huge help. ✅ Your donation will enable us to continue developing this project and serving our community. Thank you for considering it, and please share if you know someone who might help!

Request: Shopping trolley wheels (King's Cross N1) Received Hello neighbours, I’m urgently looking for a pair of replacement wheels for a standard shopping trolley — the kind with click-on/click-off wheels and an axle bar. My trolley is my mobility aid and I use it daily. One of the wheels has broken. I’ve done a DIY fix for now, but I’ll need proper replacement wheels as soon as possible to stay mobile and safe. If anyone has: • an old, unused or broken trolley I could take parts from, or • knows where I might find free or affordable spare wheels locally, I’d be incredibly grateful. Thank you so much in advance for any help 🌟
