The prevention or relief of poverty through the supply of second hand furniture ( free to those in desperate need ) and food from the community Food Larder ( based at and run by Furnichurch) to people in the LN 12 area facing financial hardship. We supply good second hand furniture to local people on low incomes in return for a donation and offer a free collection service for unwanted furniture.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity had a surplus for the year, with total funds increasing from £25,837 to £32,071. However, the trustees' report notes an ongoing struggle to keep finances healthy and highlights a dependency on securing future grant funding to cover staff salaries and operational costs, particularly as existing grants like the NWS grant are set to end.
