Help yourself, help others, help the environment
Healthy Planet's "Stuff for Free" initiative is a series of
giant community reuse events - helping redistribute good quality
stuff to a new home, where it will be valued.
What's more, you'll be helping the environment. By re-using things
instead of throwing them away, you'll be helping to save landfill
space, reduce fly tipping and save valuable resources.
This is part of Healthy Planet's mission to champion new and
grassroot green and healthy causes, by giving community initiatives
the space and voice they need.

Massive Success for Huge "Stuff for Free" Event in
London
During January and February, residents of West London have been
generously donating their unwanted Christmas presents to a giant
exchange event in Acton over the past few weeks, and last weekend
the initiative finished with a special kids-themed "Give &
Take" event.
Over the past few weeks a huge amount has been donated and then
taken away - for free. Items have included over 15,000 books, flat
screen televisions, beds, musical instruments, cameras, games
consoles, toys, clothes and loads more.
The final weekend, coming at the start of half-term, was aimed
at kids - with lots of toys to give away and special activities
such as creative children's entertainment by arts charity ' 'The
Fabelist'. CBBC star, Priyanka Patel, from TV show "Sadie J" was
also on hand to sign photographs and spend some time with the
kids.
Healthy Planet founder, Shaylesh Patel said:
"Thanks to the generosity of an amazing number of people, we
have now given out a warehouse full of things that could still be
useful to someone, yet would have ended up in landfill. Everyone
who came along to our event to donate goods and take away what they
needed, have made a real difference to helping the
environment.
"We are delighted with the success of this event, and will
be planning more in the future - people should check our website
regularly for updates."
