I came across this interesting website earlier this week- Inspired Times. (Inspired name too.) It seems to accord with many of yours2share‘s objectives and more besides. Following one of its threads, I ended up on a website helping people to set up street parties, and here are their top tips for holding a street party One [...] I’ve just added another yours2share case study about a successful boat share sale made just a few months ago. Margaret Flatman from Norwich in Norfolk sold her 1/5th share in a Hunter Legend 340 based in Nidri, Lefkas, Greece to Peter Dow from Topsham, near Exeter in Devon. The share was advertised in October 2008 and [...] Last Tuesday, I was interviewed by two journalists writing for completely different newspapers: The Beccles and Bungay Journal, our local newspaper and the Washington Post.

It’s the reason for most of the phone calls to yours2share. People who are considering renting out a room from Monday to Friday are often first time landlords and have no idea what the value of the room is. And of course I have no idea either because [...] Here’s another great garden sharing scheme: Garden Partners. Age Concern and Wandsworth Council have got together to enable elderly people who are struggling to cope with their gardens to find people who want to find somewhere to grow fruit and vegetables. Many elderly people worry about the fact that they can’t look after their gardens, particularly [...] I’ve just found that yours2share has climbed to third place in the listings if you search on Google for landshare, and following a few links as you do, found an enormous amount of information on allotments, growing your own fruit and veg, organic produce and sustainable food. I suppose that given “Britain is a nation [...] Swap a villa for a boat in Mallorca, Spain From the beginning I’ve often been asked if yours2share does swaps as well as enable people to share stuff: sharing and swapping have a similar ethos. Now with yours2share I’ve already got quite enough to chew, and I was aware that there are many property swap [...] |
