Gumtree launch new bushfire relief feature

How you can use it to help others. - by Laura Barry

WATCH: Watch Deltra Goodrem sing her charity bushfire relief single 'Let It Rain'  

Online pre-loved buying and selling platform Gumtree has just launched a new bushfire relief feature to help those affected by bushfire.

Gumtree has seen an influx of community members using the platform to connect with each other, either offering help or seeking support for those affected by the bushfires. To help connect the wider community, users are now able to mark their listings with a Bushfire Relief badge to indicate they are offering help or in need of support.

The Bushfire Relief badge on Gumtree will allow the Gumtree community to request specific items or services needed, as someone affected by the bushfires, or list and find free items or services offered to bushfire-affected people.  Users will also be able to list or buy where proceeds will be donated to a bushfire relief charity of choice, as organised between users.

 “At Gumtree, we endeavor to support and connect communities through a trusted and safe environment where all users can benefit,” says Gumtree Australia Chief Technology Officer, Roisin Parkes.

“The Bushfire Relief badge provides a way for our community to come together to help each other out in a time of crucial need. We know the road to recovery will be a long one and the needs of all those affected will change over time, but we hope this tool helps our community get back on their feet quicker.”


The Bushfire Relief badge is already live on Gumtree and can be seen in search results, when listing an item or service, or accessed from the top navigation bar.
