Our values are key to what we do at furniture matters, and we’re proud of the positive impact our work has on both our local communities and the local environment
Our goals
Furniture Matters’ goal is to help low income homeowners and renters buy affordable essentials: with furniture and white goods to help them set up in their home.
This particularly benefits those who may otherwise struggle, thinking their only option is to turnto the trap of high interest loans or weekly payment stores.
We extensively refurbish unwanted white goods, computers, cycles and other household goods,and provides them at low cost to local people in need.
We also offer a range of volunteering and accredited training opportunities for people who are out of work, and want to develop new skills or gain vital work experience.
Environmental impact
The ease of our free collection services means that so many unwanted items are taken away tobe repaired and refurbished. These are then sold locally at low cost, or donated to charitable causes and used to help those in need in the local community.
So items which would either end up in landfill, or simply dumped, are given a new lease of the local environment doesn’t feel the impact
