Question 163

A community centre is launching a scheme through which residents can borrow useful household equipment that they need only occasionally. Residents may also offer suitable items that they no longer use.

Before launching the scheme, the centre asked residents what would make them more likely to take part. Respondents could select more than one answer.

Consultation findingResidents selecting this
Clear instructions for borrowing and returning items74%
Knowing what would happen if an item were damaged61%
Being able to reserve an item before visiting the centre48%
Having a way to offer useful items they rarely use39%

Write the text for a leaflet that uses these findings to explain how the scheme will work, encourage residents to borrow or offer items, and address their likely concerns. You may invent the arrangements.

Your work will be assessed on communication and adaptation to audience and purpose (27 marks), and organisation and technical accuracy (18 marks).
