'Wellies Reunited' -matching is all we do


The Freelender.org database can (theoretically) be used by anyone wanting to offer or find anything. When freelender ran a tent at a festival this summer, we saw that people were losing their wellies. (This was because of the requirement to take wellies off in a number of other big tents; and in the dark, people walked away wearing the wrong wellies). Thus, we used our freelender base to run a "Wellies Reunited" event; a kind of wellies amnesty and pick-up point. It required people with wrong or missing wellies to turn up at the same place at the same time.
The directors of Freelending CIC have many big ideas about how innovative ways of providing a matching function can be undertaken online. Join in one of our numerous (themed) monthly meetings and we'll share more about the difference that matching technologies could make to all our lives, reconnecting us, saving resources and more.
