Free envelopes, A4 guillotine and flipchart pads
Due to a recently closed business, a local resident has several items to donate that they would prefer to give to a charitable organisation. They are keen to move these items as soon as possible.
The items are:
- C5 orange hard-backed envelopes - around 40 boxes, with 125 envelopes in each box. (Happy for these to be shared between several groups, rather than all needing to go to one place, and don't need to be used as envelopes!)
- Several packs of 50 smaller envelopes sized 125mm x 175mm in 4 different colours.
- An A4 guillotine for paper and thin card – the blade is covered.
- A couple of flipchart pads that have been used but still have several usable sheets.
Photos of the items can be viewed here
Collection would need to be from the DE23 8NQ area of Derby (Pear Tree Road), by prior arrangement only.
If you are interested in any of these items, please email: suman_4444@hotmail.com

Do you have a laptop you could donate or a quiet working space you could offer?
Bridge the Gap Child Mental Health C.I.C are in desperate need of laptops as their team grows and changes. They need at least two more laptops to be able to deliver webinars, complete telephone assessments and video support calls, present PowerPoints during workshops, as well complete day-to-day admin tasks.
On another note many of the Bridge the Gap team need a quiet space to work in, as this is something the organisation is struggling to facilitate at the moment.
If you or your organisation can help Bridge the Gap with either of these requests, they would love to hear from you! Email: info@jwbridgethegap.com or call 01332 600827.

Low-Cost and Free Paint for Families, Schools and Community Groups
The Derby Community RePaint scheme, which is managed by the Play and Recycling Centre (PARC), was created to help community groups and people who are on low incomes, or in receipt of benefits, by providing affordable and usable leftover paint from commercial and trade sources.
It’s just £3 to register with the scheme and gain access to free and low-cost paint to decorate your home or premises.
Every litre of paint you obtain from this scheme would otherwise go to landfill, so whatever colour you choose it's green!
For more information about the scheme and to register, visit the PARC website
