The WhatsApp covid support started on one street quickly evolved into a much broader neighbourhood group as restrictions were lifted and now actively involves 35 households. A key feature is the regular circulation of household items for re-use by others. Up to 10 items are advertised each week, often many more. They range from books to bookcases, from toys to tables. An unintended bonus is that Greener Greenhill events are posted on the site with a growing involvement of residents in climate crisis issues and a good response for volunteers to help out at the events. It normalises activities like collecting terracycle items such as blister packs at a very local level.
