Buy, sell and give away locally in Dorset
A friendly Facebook group for neighbours from Bournemouth to Bridport. Every post and every new member is checked by our local admins, so the group stays local, useful and safe.
Figures from the group's Facebook Insights, November 2026.
How the group works
1. Ask to join
It's a private group. Answer the short membership questions so we know you're local – then you're in.
2. Post your item
Clear photos, a real price and your town. Admins approve posts to keep out spam and scams.
3. Meet & pay in person
View the item, then pay on collection. Never pay a deposit to someone you haven't met.
Every week in the group
Free Sunday
Give away something you no longer need. One person's clutter is another neighbour's treasure.
Wanted Wednesday
Looking for something? Post what you need and let Dorset help you find it.

Never pay a deposit to “hold” an item. “Free item, just pay delivery” is a scam. Read our quick safety guide before you buy or sell.
