Election Stationery Idea

Fact: there’s an EU referendum coming up, where I will be using it as an opportunity to help charities.
How?: I have a pre-existing arrangement with my local election office to take all the election stationery (pencils, rulers etc) off their hands. I then find a charity that wants the stationery, which I’m always able to do. In case you’re wondering, my election office do not reuse the stationery, and have tried to give it away to charities or local schools to no avail. I have more connections in the charity world than they do, so I'm able to help them out.
Idea: Could you do the same with your local election office? All it takes is a simple email enquiry to potentially help out a charity with much needed resources!

Both the election offices I've worked for in the past re-use everything, apart from things like street list posters which can change each election.A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.0
