Giving World Online provide businesses with a free service to re-distribute items they do not require and these are matched through our website with charities who need them.
Businesses benefit by reducing the amount of surplus stock they send to landfill as well as any costs they may incur for storage.
Surplus and excess items often include those which:
- Are created as a result of cancelled orders/contracts where the cost of re-working is uneconomical.
- Surplus items that accumulate over a period of time and no longer required (eg office furniture, stationary, paper etc)
- Unwanted promotional/sample items
- Items made as part of the manufacturing process which would otherwise be disposed of, but which can be bagged and donated loose.
Many businesses have already experienced the benefits of working with Giving World Online and these include John Lewis, P&O Cruises and E.On. The Mansfield area can now benefit from this service too.
E.On recently contacted Giving World Online to donate portfolio cases and laptop bags. Giving World Online seamlessly managed the entire distribution process, free of charge, to many needy people across England, saving the company in both storage and landfill disposal costs.
One such local charity that benefitted is Nottingham YMCA, who received portfolios to give to youngsters when they go for job interviews. Naomi Webb, of E.On said ‘Working with Giving World Online was brilliant, simple and efficient, all I did was upload the information onto the internet and then Giving World Online contacted me, they basically did everything else for me and dealt with the storage company that we use, it was really simple’
Giving World Online is provided free of charge to both donors and the recipient charities and community groups, all the recipient charities have to pay is transport/postal costs.
Mansfield has 41% of people living in deprived areas and 26% of children living in poverty (Jan 2011), so there is no better time than now to register your donation of your unwanted/surplus items at www.givingworldonline.com
Giving World Online, based at Burleys Way in Leicester, is supported by The Big Lottery Fund which distributes half of the National Lottery good cause funding across the UK and the fund is committed to bringing real improvements to communities and the lives of people most in need.
