Local charities Shropshire Housing Alliance and South Shropshire Furniture Scheme are trying to encourage residents to donate household items like furniture, white goods, small electrical items, crockery, cutlery and bedding.
This helps provide people with affordable essential everyday items, whilst at the same time reducing the amount of waste which has to be managed.
For Shropshire residents, donating couldn’t be easier – you can save yourself a trip to the tip because they can collect it for you - just call Shropshire Housing Alliance on 01691 679817 or South Shropshire Furniture Scheme on 01584 877788, who can arrange for a local scheme to come and collect items from people’s homes.
Jean Jarvis MBE, CEO of South Shropshire Furniture Scheme, added:
“Something that you don’t want anymore can still be used by someone else. If you contact your local furniture scheme we can arrange a collection for your items, restore them and make them available to others at affordable prices. As a social enterprise, any income we generate goes back into the scheme support our charitable work.”
