We’re here to help customers who need a little extra support setting up their home with furniture and household essentials.

Our furniture upcycling team restores donated items and gives them a new lease of life. These once-loved pieces are then passed on to customers who:

  • Have low incomes 
  • Are rebuilding after homelessness 

  • Are fleeing unsafe situations 

  • Have lost possessions

This scheme helps people furnish their homes with clean, attractive furniture – while also preventing hundreds of tonnes of waste from going to landfill.

How to get support

If you’re struggling and need help, speak to your housing services co-ordinator. They’ll make a referral directly to our furniture upcycling team.

Upcycling shop

We’ve opened a pop-up shop to raise funds for furniture packs and household essentials for customers who need a little extra help.

We sell unique, upcycled furniture pieces – and all profits go straight back into the scheme.

This helps us provide high-demand items like mattresses, bedding and starter packs, and buy materials to upcycle more lovely furniture.
