We prevent items going to landfill and in turn are able to provide furniture, white goods and household items to the general public and to those on a low income at significantly reduced prices. We also work with a wide variety of agencies to seek to help those who are struggling to help themselves. Part of this is providing free furniture to referred at risk families.
