Good day all.

Following a thread about "disgraceful act" (destroying equipment), I was thinking if TTD or it members can drive a collection of used/unwanted/old equipment giveaways AKA a Graceful act :)
The donations collected can circulate towards certain nominated beneficiaries across the globe.

I would understand logistics is normally a major concern. Sometimes the costs could be more than the value of the goods.
But some ideas arises, is if you are at a club with many members, it might be easier to collect and distribute to a central point
I would assume majority of users here are from Europe, so maybe a hub in Europe.
For the ones in Asia, a hub in Asia etc?

I have engaged some pros, but they already have a distribution/donation pathway already for they used rubbers.
I would assume a lot of club members would do the same. But for the ones who would be throwing it in the bin - would you want to donate towards a graceful act?

Is there any ideas, suggestion, advice on how this can work?

We might distribute the effort to combat logistics.

I’ve already been collecting equipment to make stuff that would otherwise get thrown out or collect dust in a storage box available to the inprivileged, for whom any expense is a significsnt barrier. That’s an isolated, and hence limited and small-scale thing. What would it take to grow it out?
