Upcycle suggestion, please

[Ruskin]

I have a rowing machine that I'd like to pass on to an upcycle charity so that a health-challenged person can benefit from some static, indoor exercise.

I've used it throughout the pandemic and apart from drive belt and a wiring repair, it works fine. Spanner and instructions included.

Thanks.

British Heart Foundation on the OKR will pick it up from you

i thought  BHF had stopped doing collections. We had them regularly to collect items after a Give and Take Event but they informed us that since Covid they do not offer this sservice.

They do collect actually and there's a form to complete - but they insist that whatever you're passing on needs to be in a resellable condition so I won't send it on this occasion. https://www.bhf.org.uk/shop/donating-goods/book-furniture-collection-near-me

Try contacting Emmaus on Lewisham High Road. We donated some weights and a weights bench there a couple of years ago, they collected. They did say it's space-dependent whether they'll take goods which need a bit of TLC before being saleable, but worth a try.

Ah that's a shame:
