    The Power of Community ‘Swap Shop’

    • Did you know...?

    Regular readers of our weekly e-bulletin will know that we often put out a call (on behalf of organisations) either seeking items/ resources or having them available to donate.

    The Friends of Tipton Library did just that back in September this year when they were seeking some foldable/ stackable chairs and tables – Friends of Tipton Library seeks stackable chairs and tables – scvo.info

    It’s great to be able to report that their request was successful!!

    Gundi Jones, Treasurer of the group has emailed us to say, “This is just .. to tell you that we were successful with our plea for chairs .. [they] were collected today and look great in our library. Thank you very much for your assistance in this matter”.

    And it’s also a huge ‘Thank You’ to the kind donors – King’s Community Church in Brandhall.

    With a subscriber list of over 2,200 people, our weekly e-bulletin reaches far and wide. It’s FREE to place a request so, if there’s something you’re looking for, or have something to offer, then why not try to ‘match up’ through our bulletin?

    Just drop us a line to support@scvo.info, together with the relevant info and maybe a picture or two, and we’ll do the rest! We can’t guarantee success every time, but what have you got to lose?
