To save you having to spend time looking all over the internet for some freebies and bargains, we have sourced them for you so that you can find them in one place.
Join our Facebook group Heart to Hand
The Heart to Hand group was created to help those who have just moved from South Africa to the UK and are starting off with nothing and also for those who kindly have unwanted items to gift for free.
Feel free to post in the group if there are any items you are needing and maybe someone will be able to help you out.
Or look out for the posts where people are gifting unwanted items.
Charity shops
Charity shops are a type of social enterprise. They sell mainly used goods such as clothing, books, music albums, shoes, DVDs, toys, and furniture donated by members of the public, and are often staffed by volunteers.
Charity shops are able to reuse or recycle more than 90% of donated clothing.
Over 90% of donated books and 85% of donated electrical goods reduces landfill, by boosting re-use and recycling.
Charity shops help to reduce waste that ends up in landfill
