"building a worldwide and online gift economy" [Deron Beale, Oct '06]
Newcastle upon Tyne
Freecycle groups are run by local volunteer moderators. The Toon group was set up on September 2nd, 2004 by Em, moderated with the help of Theo, PJ, Laura, Helen J. and Mason.
The Toon group recently split from its closest neighbours (Gateshead and North Tyneside) and now only covers Newcastle upon Tyne.
