Glasgow Freeshare - part of the Freecycle network – people who have stuff to give away advertise it for people who need it. You need to be quick though, if it’s as busy as the Edinburgh Group, worth going in two or three times a day though and seeing what there is. A great free local source. You can post “wanted” notices as well as replying direct to “offered” items. Also a good way to promote the cause! Only drawback is generally you have to collect…If you join the group (there is one for every area) you will get regular emails detailing things that people are giving away for free (you just have to pick them up) including clothes and furniture etc.
