The Furniture Service was set up to help people on benefits or low incomes in need of good quality, low cost furniture.

The items of furniture are donated to us by members of the community and we re-distribute them. This not only helps people in need but also diverts bulky waste away from landfill which helps the environment.

With access to good quality furniture, people who cannot afford to purchase new items will be able to furnish their homes giving them a good standard of living and dignity.

The low cost furniture will help to reduce the number of people getting into debt or living in homes with poor quality items which can affect their emotional well-being. The money they save can then be spent elsewhere allowing their budgets to stretch further.

The Furniture Service also houses a number of training and volunteering opportunities for members of the local community, teaching life and work skills & knowledge to prepare participants to enter the labour market.

We have volunteers using the service who have various disabilities, we offer them indirect training and support in a wide range of job skills. This enables them to gain confidence, social integration and to make them more work ready, this also helps to provide a better lifestyle for them and their families.

We continue to provide a free collection service for the furniture we need to continue this much needed service. The most popular and sought after furniture is:·

• Single and Double Beds
• Bunk Beds
• Three Piece Suites
• Wardrobes

However we collect most items of furniture as long as they comply with our charity standards.
