Noticeboard cluster · Classified · Last reviewed May 2026
An internal staff classifieds, on the intranet your team already uses.
Quick answer: Athena's Noticeboard Classified category turns SharePoint into an internal staff classifieds board: peer-to-peer selling, asking, sharing, lift-shares, lost-and-found, services, accommodation. £290/month per tenant. Unlimited users. Replaces the chaotic Teams channel most organisations currently use for this, with structure, search, and persistence.
Almost no SMB buys dedicated staff-classifieds software, which is fair; the market for standalone tools in this category barely exists. But most organisations end up with the same ad hoc Teams channel where someone tries to sell a sofa next to a missed-cat poster. The Classified category gives the use case proper structure without a separate platform.
A staff classifieds, finally with structure.
Video walkthrough
Athena Classified: posting an item flow
Coming soon, recording in progress
What works well in the Classified category.
Items wanted
Someone moving house looking to borrow a drill, asking for a particular textbook, looking for office plants.
Services offered
A colleague who does photography weekends, gardening, tutoring, dog-walking. Vetted-by-employment side gigs that staff trust each other to use.
Services wanted
Looking for a referral for childcare, an electrician recommendation, a dentist recommendation. Internal referral network.
Lift-shares
Commuting partners, conference travel, school-run swaps.
Lost and found
Left items, found items, owner-please-claim posts.
Accommodation
Spare room available, looking for a room, holiday-let swaps. Surprisingly active in large urban offices.
Community organising
Sports teams looking for players, book clubs forming, parents' groups, hobby clubs.
How it works inside the Noticeboard.
Same self-provisioning list
As the other Noticeboard categories.
Rich-text entries with images
Add photos of items for sale, attach details, link out for full descriptions.
Audience targeting
Keep classifieds scoped to a particular office, region, or department if your organisation is large.
Auto-expiry
Entries can be configured to expire after a set duration so the board doesn't accumulate stale “still available” posts.
Standard SharePoint moderation
Admins can review, edit, or remove entries.
Distinct visual treatment
Classifieds look different from formal company notices, signalling “this is for you, not from on high.”
When the Teams-channel approach is enough.
Frequently asked questions.
An internal version of a Gumtree or Facebook Marketplace: a structured surface where staff post items for sale, items wanted, services, lift-shares, lost-and-found, and other peer-to-peer asks. Most organisations don't have a dedicated tool; classifieds typically live in Teams channels. Athena's Noticeboard Classified category provides a structured intranet-native surface.
The Teams-channel-for-everything finally has structure.
The Noticeboard Classified category is included in Athena Essentials at £290/month per tenant, alongside the other five Noticeboard categories and 19 webparts.
