Charity Winter Clothing: Wrap up in the UK #7

Closed sohilpandya closed 7 years ago

sohilpandya commented 7 years ago

We've got a box of jackets which have been around in the space for the last month of so, we need to either figure out if we can send it to a charity or contact Wrap up in the UK to come and collect it.

I'm on this! It's very much a WTF moment. 👍 Thanks for raising!

@iteles this is like the "broken window" in QS ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_windows_theory 😞

iteles commented 7 years ago

This is why: http://www.handsonlondon.org.uk/wrap-uplondon/

It's a Hands On thing.

So the steps here are:

[ ] Tidy out the clutter from the area next to the bookshelves upstairs
[x] Ines to have a conversation with the Hands On people

This is getting old... eyesore-box-quitespace-entrance

@iteles any update on this? ⌛️ (I'm happy to rent a ZipVan and transport the box to anywhere in London...)

iteles commented 7 years ago

Yea, I had a conversation with them a couple of weeks ago, @markwilliamfirth followed up today and will chase them soon. In the meantime, the box is upstairs.

If you want I can just give Jon a deadline to move it by? I think that's the issue here - there's no incentive for urgency

nelsonic commented 7 years ago

I know this is not my "remit" but I agree with Mark: when there is no sense of urgency nothing gets done. I think we need to be explicit in the QS co-working agreement/contract: no "stuff" lying around on floors/tables when you lave for the day. (I've removed anything of mine that was "out-of-place" so hopefully I'm not "throwing stones"...) we really need to make the space look "professional" and not like a playground or charity shop.

Note: I'm unsubscribing from this thread but if you need me to help with moving the box or anything else please mention or assign me. thanks! 👍

Jon confirmed today that within 24 hours he should have a response about when the box is being removed
