10 reasons why Gumtree is Good for the Local Economy

Most of you know Gumtree the local ads website where there is approximately 1,772 573 as we speak in the UK.

For me, it is one of the best local ads website one can find and I love it because I believe it is actually good for the Local Economy. 10 Reasons why:


Because it gets good, money, ideas, knowledge, contacts circulating at a fast rate at a local level.
There is nothing better than increasing the velocity of exchange to improve a city economy.
There is no fee attached to posting an item on gumtree. It makes Ebay look so bad.
Items that may be discarded and put in a bin because broken can be purchased by someone who is looking for a spare part.
There are plenty more reason to actually be on Gumtree.
If Gumtree was to giving me a job, I'll be there ambassadorhttps://www.shopkeep.com/blog/10-ways-small-businesses-benefit-the-local-community#step-1

Which support?

My main purpose is to make the invisible visible: the talents, stories, passion and majesty of all the people that I meet.  I do this under the umbrella of Lightseekers for community arts projects and start-ups, Transition Leicester for environmental projects, Leicester Fixers for projects supporting repair. Depending on the focus of your project, I'll support you through planning and project delivery (Inc. Research, event management, curation, marketing and communication and more) - mentorship, training and consultancy as well as bid writing and fundraising + advertising opportunities. I have several packages for support with a first hour discussing your vision and what you are looking to achieve for free. Contact me via social media  and send me your email address with an idea of the projects you are looking to develop. I will then send you a list of all the offerings accordingly.
