A mega morning at Heathfield’s Mega Skip event on Saturday ♻️✨

We always enjoy supporting these events and engaging with the community, all while helping to save items from landfill.

And please welcome our new (very fluffy) volunteer! 🐶

💚 Our service has expanded into Hounslow, helping
residents in crisis who have been given grants through
Hounslow Council’s Discretionary Local Crisis
Payments.

We're delighted to be working with @hounslowcouncil.bsky.social to ensure that people in the borough can get the furniture that they need.

🌟 We’ve been awarded £5,000 from @richmondcouncil.bsky.social's Active Richmond Fund! 🌟

The grant will go towards providing Starter Kits of household and kitchen essentials to people in need.

Thanks to this support, even more residents will be able to cook healthy meals at home 🍽️

✨ At Richmond Furniture Scheme, we’re not just #MakingHomes for people!

🐞🐦 Our volunteers have been busy building bug hotels and bird houses using recycled materials to help local wildlife thrive and make our community greener 💚

🌟 We're in need of sofas, wardrobes & chests of drawers! 🌟
