Please contact Glossopdale Furniture Project if your furniture is still usable. They are a voluntary group helping people on low incomes buy furniture and collect unwanted usable furniture free of charge. Visit their website if you think your unwanted furniture could be used by someone else.
We offer a chargeable collection service for items not suitable for reuse.
