Financial Summary and Report
Home from Home Reuse Services Limited, CIO diverts items unnecessarily going to landfill sites by collecting unwanted, but still useable, household goods from homes. These are then offered at low cost to local people for reuse.
After a year without a retail outlet, we secured a new, rent free, retail unit in Walton on Thames in early 2025 which enabled the charity to restart sales of goods, recruit key staff and volunteers.

This meant that the charity could collect, sort, repair, just under twenty tonnes of unwanted pre-used household items were divert this from landfill through its storage site and new retail outlet.
Around fourteen tonnes of these items were sold through the retail outlet to the community or provided at low or no cost to local families in need. We were also able to support people in need in the community by supplying other local charities and individuals with quality furniture to be reused in their services or homes.
We also made the decision to employ a full time ‘Charity Shop Retail Manager, £27,000 per year, who was appointed in September 2025, to try increase the charities reach and impact in the community. Therefore, the expenditure for this budget year increased significantly. The staff costs and the usual storage, vehicle, insurance, and volunteer expenses meant the expenditure for 2025-26 was £13,771.
The Trustees and other regular volunteers supported the new manager. Our two long-term regular volunteers were joined by a volunteer driver who helped with collections and delivery of goods to local people. Volunteers can reclaim their travel and lunch costs.
Unfortunately, the shop unit we had acquired only lasted a couple of months and it took us a while to find and establish a new retail unit. This impacted on the retail sales income, which amounted to £2,390, almost 50% less than we had forecast.
The charity had a healthy £17,814.72 in the bank at the end of March 2026.
The plans for 2026-27 to increase the tonnage collected/diverted from landfill to 25 tonnes, distribute twenty tonnes of goods to households in need and sales through the retail outlet – increasing income £20,000, and try raising an additional £5,000 by instigated a grant fundraising programme.
