How can you help?
So far all support and time has been entirely voluntary, a few chairs tables and even a computer has been donated to the site, and small cash donations are being left to keep the free tea and coffee going, but there is so much more that can be done….
Anything that could be used, recycled or just isnt wanted is welcome, we are a resourceful lot and will be able to make a lot out of a little. And at the moment we are particularly looking out for a few fire extinguishers! but also…..
- Books
- CDs
- Board games
- Badminton/volleyball net (or similar)
- Furniture
- Paint
- Kitchen equipment
- Computer equipment
- Tools
- Kids toys
- Food
- Clothes
And pretty much anything else will be MOST welcome, consider it a chance to get rid of your old junk, but without the guilt of creating more rubbish in the world.
Just E-mail:
millroadsocialcentre@lists.riseup.net
Or call:07530 759 363
Paul and Borat say
‘THANKS’!

Hi there,
Glad to see you’re doing something with the place! I’m currently restarting my old radio show which deals with independent bands and the underground scene in the UK and was wondering if you would be willing to do some kind of hook up? We’re London based but began in Swansea of all places and love what you’re up to. We noticed that you’re doing accoustic nights and we’d like to help promote them, or anything else you want to use us for. In other words, can we help?
Drop me a line if you’re interested and we’ll talk!

I have a whole lot of stuff which was going to go to a charity shop at some point, but you can of course have anything you would like from it! Unfortunately though, I’m not in Cambridge much, and this is really quite a lot of stuff.. I’m pretty sure I have one or two table-football balls too 🙂 And a whole box of bouncy balls to aid in your table-football frustrations 😉
Get back to me sometime, and if any of you can get to the King’s Lynn area then that’d be really good for me!
Hopefully the social centre will still be fully functional this time next year, I’d love to help out!

If there’s enough space do what so many groups are doing in Germany, start an ‘Umsonstladen’ or ‘Freeshop’. These are community accessible spaces set up for people to give good things away and other people come by and take what they need! Just pass it wider, freely!
I’ve looked for a space here in Geneva to get one going, and continue searching. The location we are using for activities is a squat, squatted 10 years ago by people, including one from Manchester. We host language acquisition and mainetenence activities in a project called ‘Conversation Cafe’.
We’re also starting a Muesli bank, initiated by someone from Cambridge, who turned me onto this ‘hometown action’.
all the best

Hallo,
I already left this on the Facebook page but as I’m passing through I’ll say it again..have a look on Freecycle.org. Cambridge has a really good established group and it’s purpose is to get rid of unwanted things without creating landfill – exactly as mentioned above.
I’m back in August, I really hope this is still going then. It looks splendid.
