It's all about converting the value of second hand, unwanted goods into valuable donations for charity. It's free to use for everyone - Gifters, Seekers and Charities.

Because it is free, and JumbleAID does not touch a penny of any donation, we need sponsors to support us in order to sustain, promote and develop the site. There are a number of sponsorship opportunities available, however, we are currently looking for a major JumblePAGES sponsor and 10 'Jumble Guardians'. We'd love to hear from 'Responsible Retailers' who might consider supporting this unusual proposition that helps keep items out of landfill while supporting charities at the same time. We describe JumbleAID as a kind of never ending 21st Century Charity Jumble Sale. Please have a look at the site and let me know your thoughts, I would really appreciate your feedback. Kind regards. Simon.
