The #spreadthelove project is fantastic. It’s an absolute inspiration.
It enables people to share their skills and resources in an open and democratic way. This means that items or actions are only exchanged when the demand is present.

We might well need an alternative website to be able to adequately list...
Let's Spread the Love.
The world can seem cold, cynical and lonely. It is easy to turn on the news and feel despair and that nothing can be done.
