A Good Thing is an award-winning non-profit online platform that matches wonderful UK charities with organisations that have things to donate: helping charities while providing organisations with an ethical means of disposing of unwanted goods.
Literally anything can be given away to charities via A Good Thing. All sorts of weird and wonderful items have been already saved from landfill via the platform – from theatre props, T shirts and stationery to aluminium cans, laptops and candles.
Umbrellas have gone to a charity supporting people with complex mental health needs. Greetings cards have gone to a project for women in prison. Gorgeous organic blankets have gone to vulnerable new mums. Furniture and paint have gone to a community space. Babygros have gone to families of people affected by substance misuse. Bamboo poles have gone to a beautiful community garden.
It takes just 30 seconds to create an account at www.agoodthing.org.uk/signup, and then a charity will begin receiving email alerts about free items nearby.
