Hi

Loved this article in the new edition but it said that Freegle used to be called Freecycle. This is incorrect - they are 2 totally separate organisations and Freecycle is still going strong as the biggest free gifting and reuse organisation globally smile

Otherwise a fab edition full of great articles.

Oh, I am really confused now! I joined Freecycle several years ago. Maybe a year and a half ago the emails suddenly started coming through from “Freegle”, and I assumed there had been a name change (no info about it at all). Around the same time it suddenly became inundated with “wanted” ads, and I pretty much stopped using it as it was really hard to see what was being offered. The other day I went looking for something online and came across a Freecycle group in my area - the one I signed up to, but it said I wasn’t a member. Did Freegle take over and freecycle break away or something?

Any area that used to have a Freecycle group that was commandeered by Freegle will now have a Freecycle group as well. I know, because someone spent a long time making sure of it wink (Not me LOL!) Basically what Ciaran said is true.
