Are You Liable to Help?

So we just had a very difficult discussion at work this morning. We, as a company are trying to find out new ways to help our fellow Queenslanders. We have come up with a few ideas, which I will list shortly, but what is really bothersome, is considering what type of legal implications reside in the background of good will! I'm sure many people have had this issue since Brisbane was flooded last week and I have heard it addressed on the news as well. If you aren't working directly for the SES, good and help some relatives. Many have simply flipped the bird to that limitation, even as our Customer Relations Manager went through west end with baked goods yesterday.

Firstly, what we want to do is create a donation and distribution point for office excess. That is items like printers, chairs, phones, desks, bookshelves etc.

Secondly, we want to offer some of the space in our office for small business managers to come in and "hot desk", if you need room to come and do your books for example.

Lastly is a business management system so that as companies rebuild themselves, they can do so with an online hosted system. We can't make it free unfortunately since we pay hosting fees to another company, but hey a head start is a head start and we really have tried to make it as accessible as possible.

What we REALLY need to know before we pursue people that may want to provide transport or storage, or actual office furniture is, what type of legal hurdles should we look out for? Can anyone donate some form of legal advice?

Please pass this on to anyone whom you may know that can help!

Thanks in advance,

Mick
