Used table tennis table and table soccer

We are looking for used table tennis tables or football tables for the common room in our refugee accommodation.

Unfortunately, our residents and especially the children and young people in our accommodation have little access to outdoor and sports areas, so we would like to provide them with these options. Supervision of the tables by particularly committed residents has already been ensured.

Craft materials and outdoor toys for refugee children

Our childcare room is looking for craft materials (mainly colored pencils and felt-tip pens, erasers and sharpeners, but also other materials from paper to paint to glue) as well as outdoor toys (especially badminton rackets, table tennis bats and balls of all kinds)

As the childcare needs to be completely rebuilt, we are currently looking for anything that could be useful to support and care for the children living with us.

Regatta rowing oars for ZK10 cutter rowing to promote inclusion and democracy

5 pairs of oars for participation as an inclusive team in rowing regattas with ZK10 cutter Barther Greif, made of wood in accordance with ZK10 class regulations
Rowing in the ZK10 only works as a team. 10 rowers and a helmsman need to work well together to achieve the goal. In a team, the participants learn to be considerate of each other and must agree on a common goal. Democracy and inclusion can be put into practice. People with disabilities can contribute according to their abilities and thus experience participation. Together, we look for ways to minimize or completely eliminate disabilities caused by external circumstances. Impressions of the start of our season on the water can be found on our website. The participants were a colorful mix from primary school age to pensioners, people with and without disabilities.

Washing machine

Our washing machine is giving up the ghost and the water is leaking with every wash. That's why we need a replacement - we don't care what brand, size or color it is, as long as it works. We are a non-profit organization in Berlin Schöneberg and are dependent on donations due to financial constraints and unfortunately cannot currently buy a new washing machine ourselves. We hold free cooking events every week, for which we have to wash aprons, towels, cloths etc. regularly. We would therefore be infinitely grateful for your support.

Looking for seating for consultation and retreat areas at events

Spielwiese e.V. is looking for seating furniture for use at events, trade fairs and community projects such as VENUS Berlin.

At events, we create so-called "Safe & Relax Zones" as well as quiet discussion and consultation areas where visitors can withdraw, exchange ideas or have confidential conversations. We urgently need suitable seating for this.

We are particularly looking for

  • Chairs
  • small sofas
  • Armchairs
  • Beanbags
  • Lounge furniture
  • small tables
  • mobile and easily transportable seating groups
The furniture may be used, but should be clean, in good working order and suitable for public use. Neutral colors are welcome, but not a must.

As we work as a non-profit organization and implement many projects on a voluntary basis, even individual pieces of furniture help us enormously. The aim is to create pleasant and low-threshold conversation areas for visitors.

Simple but functional and safe wheelchair wanted for our pilot service

In our hospital, a volunteer escort service accompanies people to their appointments in the building. If they have difficulty walking or are weak, it would be a great help to the ladies if they could put the patients in a wheelchair and push them around the building/ make it easier and less strenuous for them to wait at elevators etc.. Unfortunately, these wheelchairs keep disappearing/being taken away. We would therefore urgently need a replacement and this time we would paint and mark it conspicuously so that it would hopefully be unattractive to take it away.

We need fence posts (wood)

We are looking for wooden fence posts. Round or square does not matter. At least 160 cm high.
Background: We are setting aside land from industrial agriculture and forestry. Now we have an area of 52001m that is simply being used by a farmer. To prevent the area from being driven on, we need fence posts so that he can no longer drive there with his tractor. For this we need about 76 posts.... one every 2 meters.

Umbrellas needed for refugee shelter

Many people in our accommodation have only recently moved in, and there is a lack of many everyday items beyond the bare essentials. Therefore, we are looking for various items that residents can borrow when needed.

At the moment, we are especially looking for umbrellas of any kind (color and size do not matter). We need as many as possible—every single umbrella helps.

Unfortunately, we do not have the capacity to pick up the umbrellas ourselves, and we also do not have the financial means to cover postage costs. For this reason, we would greatly appreciate it if kind donors could bring the umbrellas directly to us.

If you have any questions about drop-off or would like to coordinate a delivery location, please feel free to contact us at any time.

Comfortable, well-preserved, not too large couch with wipeable imitation leather cover (important!) for refugee accommodation

We are looking for a couch that is not too big for our multi-purpose room. The most important thing is that the cover can be wiped clean (i.e. a smooth artificial leather surface) and that there are no cracks in the surface. Of course, the couch could look used, but not completely worn out.
In principle, it is conceivable that we could pick it up, but it would be even better if it could be delivered.
