People who Share

At the Sett, we believe that Sharing is Caring and we like to share what we love... so we are thrilled to officially be apart of a movement called "The People who Share" and share the all details with you so that you too can join!

People who Share is a global movement dedicated to spreading awareness of the Sharing Economy*.

One of the organisations initiatives is Global Sharing Day . It is the world’s largest people-driven campaign that raises awareness on the fast-growing Sharing Economy.

"On June 1st 2014 millions of people around the world will come together to celebrate sharing and the growing Sharing Economy!This year’s theme is neighbourhood sharing and it’s all about bringing communities together to share what they have, demonstrating that most of what we need is right there on our doorstep. "

And of course, The Sett is involved!
