How We Can Help You to Furnish Your Home

Furniture  Projects

We recognise that having access to good quality reasonably priced new or second hand furnishings can play an important part in helping  people settle into their home.

For many homeless people, living on benefits makes access to basic furnishings a real problem. To help we have started a furniture project that provides basic items to homeless people setting up home. To find out more about the project contact your local Tenancy Support Team.

The following projects can also provide you with a variety of items however each have their own way of working, some projects are free and some charge for their services.
