DIY store B&Q operates a community re-use scheme through all its branches across the UK. The scheme donates unsellable products and materials for re-use by local schools, other educational institutions and community groups, for the benefit of the local community and the environment. All items are donated on the understanding that they will be re-used or disposed of responsibly if they are not used. Eligible groups include community garden projects, registered charities, schools and colleges, youth groups, Scouts and Guides, hospices, preschool groups and registered child minders. B&Q also works with Community Repaint, a network of schemes that collects any surplus, re-usable paint and redistributes it within their communities to individuals and families on low income, charities and community groups. Charities, community groups, colleges or schools interested should get in touch with B&Q. B&Q will add the organisation’s details to their database of community groups. When a B&Q store has something to donate, they will use this list to get in touch with groups in their area. Click here

Carers Network is a local charity supporting unpaid carers in central London. We would love to be out and about in the community meeting local carers, but due to current restrictions we are instead going to be hosting an online ‘virtual stall’ on the day. Why not pop in, meet the team over a cup of tea or coffee, and find out how we can help you! We will have a morning session from 11am-1pm and an afternoon session from 2pm-4pm. We’d love to meet as many carers on day as possible. There is no need to register, and the log-in details are the same for the morning and afternoon:
