What it is

Donate, in a sentence or three

No price and no payment. Someone requests the item, you accept or decline, then you agree when they collect.

How it works

Three steps. No MBA required.

  1. 1

    List it as free

    Photos, condition, and who can claim it. Say where it can be collected.

  2. 2

    A request comes in

    You accept the person you want to have it, or decline. Accepting does not take any money.

  3. 3

    Mark it collected

    Once it has gone, you mark it donated and the listing closes.

Example listings

What it looks like on a stall

Three made-up giveaways. Nobody pays. The giver still chooses who collects.

  • Donate

    School jumpers, bundle

    Ola Nowak · Peterborough

    Free

    Mixed sizes, porch collection after school

    1. Listed on the parents' spinney

      Ola posts a photo of the bundle and says they are free to a family in the group.

    2. Two requests, one acceptance

      She accepts the first request from someone she recognises, and declines the other.

    3. Collected on Wednesday

      They pick a time, the jumpers leave the porch, and Ola marks them donated.

  • Donate

    Baby clothes, 0–3 months

    Niamh Kelly · Derry~Londonderry

    Free

    Washed, collect from the hall

    1. Outgrown, still good

      Niamh lists the 0–3 month bag and asks people to bring a tote.

    2. A neighbour requests them

      Niamh accepts. There is still nothing to pay.

    3. Handed over at the door

      They collect on Sunday morning. Niamh marks the donation done.

    Winter coat drive

    Ioana Popescu · Boston, Lincolnshire

    Coats for the rail outside the hall

    1. Hung on the rail

    2. A neighbour requests a medium

      Ioana accepts one request. The rest of the rail stays listed.

    3. Collected at the hall

      It changes hands on Tuesday. Ioana marks that coat donated.

FAQs

Questions your lot will ask

Does it cost anything to give something away?

No. There is no price and no payment on a donate listing.

Do I have to give it to the first person who asks?

No. You choose which request to accept, and you can decline the others.

How does collection work?

You agree a collection time with the person you accept. The request stays open until they have it.

Can a group run a donation drive?

Yes. A community group can list donations from its own stall, like a coat drive or a swap rail.

Too good to bin?
