Swansea Contribution Corner links individuals who have items to donate with local groups/organisations that need these items.

The Contribution Corner circulates resources - repurposing them and reducing waste while providing not for profit organisations and groups with an additional resource to support their projects. 
We are looking for surplus items that are too good to go to Recycling Centres, but not appropriate as a donation to a charity shop or local food bank.

Current offers
