Our Day To Day Activities

A current priority for the Charity is supporting local families and individuals that are living in furniture poverty, which is an ever growing problem within our local community. We spend much of our time and focus on the collection and re-distribution of furniture and household goods.

Charity Furniture Shop

We are on Albert Square in Widnes Town Centre, and operate a clearance shop for pre-owned furniture and household goods.

Collecting Donations

We are very grateful for donations of good quality furniture and household items that can be re-purposed and saved from landfill.

Fixing and Upcycling

Where possible, we will collect items that need small repairs or cleaning, and we will make them fit for use again..

Local Delivery Service

We understand that not everybody is a driver or has access to a vehicle, so we operate a local delivery service to get the items that you need, to you.
