02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Main aim is to help sustain local (mainly new) Tenancies where Tenants have nothing to sleep on and/or nothing to sit on by giving people beds, sofas and other furniture plus essential household items. We have a Luton van with tail lift for collecting donated items and delivering them to those in need of this help. Donated items not suitable for giving away (i.e. too big) are sold in our charity shop / reuse showroom.
