At Freelend we think things are good - they do things or they look pretty and they can make us happy

But the research says that if there is a “happiness hit” it is short-lived – and even shorter if it’s not really used. Too often, a few months after our little shopping spree, we are left with something that sits unused, filling up our homes and even, arguably, taking up space in our hearts.

Freelend allows us to put those things to a new creative use. That helps us - it feels good to see our things put to good use and to help someone out but it also helps our neighbours save money, is good for the environment and can help make a happier community.Which neatly brings us on to goal number two.
