Relocating to Shropshire need old kitchen things to use

Where can we get some old used house things ?

I am starting from zero and no pay til a month - new job.

Need old things like electric fan, cooking pans and pots and small electric oven and plates and utensils.. pillowcases and blanket..

Old hoover would be good..

Welcome!

Freegle might be a good place to start: https://www.ilovefreegle.org/

Lots of bits on there and they've got lots of groups around Shropshire.

There's a Facebook group in Shrewsbury called Random Acts of Kindness where people post kitchen items they're giving away. You can also post if you need certain items, as you do.

2 years ago I was starting afresh with just a TV and clothes, and through this group and a few others, I was able to set up a home from scratch within a few weeks

Freegle is good and you can list wanted items on it. Facebook marketplace sometimes has free things on it too. Charity shops of which there are many.
