Free Yamaha Baby Grand Piano
We have been contacted by an individual who has a Yamaha Baby Grand Piano GC1 model that they would like to give away to someone who is a passionate lover of the instrument, or any charities or voluntary groups that might be interested.
The instrument is being offered for free, but you must be willing to pay for it to be delivered from its current storage location in Belfast. We have been informed that the movers can deliver it anywhere and that their rates are reasonably affordable.
The piano is about 3 years old and in an impeccable condition. The dimensions are 161cm by 149cm. It was last tuned two months ago.
You can view some photos of the piano here

Darley Abbey Scout Hall Seeks Regular Booker to Save Hall
Darley Abbey Scout Hall has lost a regular daytime booker and in order to save the hall, they are seeking a group/organisation looking to book the whole of the week, although several groups booking one or more days could work. They are unable to accomodate hourly slots due to capacity of the volunteers.
Current availability is for all weekdays, from 8am to 4pm - hire rate £20k pa - yearly increase in line with inflation (average of CPI and RPI for the latest month statistics are available).
An earlier start would not incur any additional rental charge.
A later finish to 17.45 would be acceptable, following certain terms.
Please click here for more information, including photos of the Hall.
Low-Cost and Free Paint for Families, Schools and Community Groups
The Derby Community RePaint scheme, which is managed by the Play and Recycling Centre (PARC), was created to help community groups and people who are on low incomes, or in receipt of benefits, by providing affordable and usable leftover paint from commercial and trade sources.
It’s just £3 to register with the scheme and gain access to free and low-cost paint to decorate your home or premises.
Every litre of paint you obtain from this scheme would otherwise go to landfill, so whatever colour you choose it's green!
For more information about the scheme and to register, visit the PARC website
Free painting, renovating, or clearing available for community groups / centres
Workpays is an education training provider that is looking for any community groups/centres or organisations that could do with some painting, renovating, or clearing.
They have students that need some work experience and some learners have just completed their construction qualification. If there is painting to be done they ask that the group purchase the materials and the students will provide the free labour. The students are flexible with availability, depending on what the work is and could offer days or a number of weeks.
If you are interested, contact Kooner Singh, Operations Manager. Call 07964 396781 or email kooner@workpays.co.uk. For more info about Workpays, visit their website.
